Though I only got 42 comments, which meant the donation would be $31.50, I am such a sucker for libraries and books that I decided to donate the $100 and a box of books. I will be posting pics from the library donation when I go next weekend!

I really enjoyed the challenge and look forward to more like it. I loved “meeting” all my commenters and hearing all about how much the blogging world loves libraries as much as I do. Here are a few of your comments:

From Katie: “I am a library junkie! So happy that you are supporting your library and may post this on my blog as well!”

From Taffy: “Hi library-loving blogger! I wish my library was bigger so it could hold more books!”

From The She-Ray: “I remember how much I loved to read as a kid, and feel sad for the young ones who haven’t discovered the pleasures of reading! Though I don’t have children of my own yet, these tips seem like they’d be helpful.”

I found some great new blogs to read and can’t wait to really get out there in the blogosphere!

Til the next chapter,
Deanna

The Dewey Tree

In the spirit of the season, we are joining up with Lisa Roe of OnlinePublicist.com in a special project.  You can read about the project here on Lisa’s blog. The project is named after a blogger who passed away at this time last year.  Dewey was dedicated to books and reading. So in honor of Dewey, we are cleaning up our bookshelves and donating our gently used books to the Denver Public Library.  
Christmas is a great time of year to be charitable and there is no better gift than the gift of literacy.  It’s a gift that keeps on giving.  It opens the door to knowledge and success and whole new worlds. Feel free to participate by going to Lisa’s blog and checking it out. 
 It doesn’t matter where you donate the books, but here are a few ideas:
Til the Next Chapter,
