Library Blog Challenge
There are educational cuts beings made all around NJ. Unfortunately, school libraries often take the hit. Help keep resources alive for our students, one library at a time.
This is a library-loving blog challenge, mine focusing on a NJ school library!
For every commenter on this post between now and March 27th, I will donate $1.00 to the Burlington City Junior School library. Regardless of comments, the minimum I will donate is $25.00, and the max is $50.00.
How easy could it be? You comment, I cough up the money, the library gets a gift! If you don’t know what to say in your comment, “I love libraries” will do.
Note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so if a single person leaves 50 comments, that still only counts once! But you can do more by spreading the word … please link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money.
If you’re moved to make a flat-fee donation to your library, or to start your own challenge, you are quite welcome, and please leave that information in the comments.
For a complete list of participating bloggers (and to visit other sites where you can help libraries just by leaving a comment!) visit the writerjenn blog at http://writerjenn.livejournal.com/

Life without libraries = darkness and chaos!
This is great! Most libraries are in dire straights right now! I know the Ohio libraries can use all the help they can get!
Start coughing! I’m with you on this challenge, so I hope we both meet our goals. Good luck.
Go Margie! Hugs to you -

“When people who can read and write start fighting on behalf of people who can’t, you just end up with another kind of stupidity. If you want to help them, build a big library or something somewhere, and leave the doors open.”~Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times.
I love libraries!
Yay, libraries! I just joined the challenge on my blog, too.

Thanks, Margie. Libraries rule — and so do you.

I think this is such a great idea!
Hi Margie!
What a wonderful idea! And how generous and caring of you.
Libraries are important.. when I was younger, we went every single weekend to the Broward County Libraries to pick up new things to read.. how else would I have read all the Hardy Boys! Besides, how will all the “bad seeds” like me get to go out with the “nice” girls, if there isn’t a library for them to tell their parents that they are going to, while going on a date with me?
That is nice of you Margie to donate to the library! I do love them!
Thanks for supporting the library Margie!
go margie – what a great plan.
I love libraries! I start taking my kids from the time they are babies and we go almost every weekend!
Thanks for doing this. Libraries really need our support now during this tough economic climate. I’m thrilled to see how many people are participating!
Yay for libraries!
Love this! Good work Margie!
Go, Margie, go! Good for you for supporting libraries!
I read everything in the children’s section when I was a kid – I used to take out the limit (10 books) and read them in a couple of days, then beg to go back to the library! Good for you for supporting them.
