We've been planning a clothing drive as part of the upcoming December 
gathering and InterNetWorkers 4th anniversary shindig.  Perhaps we could 
also use the same occasion to collect donated books for this worthy cause.

I live in Durham and am willing to personally deliver the books.

Do folks here have any of the books listed below, or similar 
age-appropriate titles for donation?  Would you be willing to bring them 
to the gathering?

TaB

P.S.  As noted, time to start cleaning your closets for clothing 
donations!
