An easy way to support the North Beach Library!

I saw a news story tonight that explained that Borders bookstores were offering $15 gift cards this weekend that customers making in-store purchases could then use on DonorsChoose.Org to support the school of their choice.  It doesn't matter if the purchase is a book or simply a cup of coffee; the customer will still receive a $15 gift card.  So tonight I took a book list I've been working with for a few weeks of books I'd really like to add to the library collection that are previous award nominees or that are leveled readers appealing to our younger readers, and I submitted a grant on the DonorsChoose website after updating my profile for North Beach.  It may take a day or two for them to review my grant before it goes live - currently it tells me that my request is pending.  But it will definitely be live shortly, and if you're interested in learning more about the grant, keep checking back at http://www.donorschoose.org/northbeach in the next couple of days!  And if you're out shopping on December 4th or 5th, consider making a purchase of any amount at Borders and you'll be able to support the acquisition of new materials for our students!  Thank you!
