I've told some of you about the website BookMooch but for those of you who don't know, here's the scoop. BookMooch is a website where you can trade books for free with other people. All you pay is the cost of postage to send your books away to people who want them. But when you request books from other people, you get them for free. The way it stays fair is by a points system, where every time I send a book I earn a point. So when I want to request a book from someone else, I loose a point and they get a point.
The reason I'm writing about this now is because I've started a little project and if you're interested in contributing I'd be happy to have your help. When I went to see Lou at his new home a few days ago, I saw that the library shelves were empty. The building is fairly new, so I'm sure they just haven't had a chance to start their collection, but I wanted to help them get started. So here's what I did. I set up a charity account on the BookMooch website. I told the other people who are members of BookMooch about it, and so far they've donated almost 50 points to the chartiy account for the Veterans Home. That means that we can get 50 books FOR FREE for the veterans, books that they request by title or by general topics of interest.
Here's how you can help my project. Join BookMooch, give away books and earn points, give those points to the Veterans Home account so they can request more books. -OR- Send books to me that you're done reading and ready to give away. I'll give those books away to help earn points for the Veterans Home account. Donating even one book to the project is one more book for the Veterans who have served our country and given so much to us. Thanks for your help!
