The New York Lit.World is accepting donations for children's picture books in partnership with The International Book Bank. The books will be shipped to Liberia and Sierra Leone to find children who may never have had a book of their own - some never have seen a picture book before.

Terry, that is wonderful! I love finding out about drives like this. I'll try and blog about it. You're awesome. Have a great holiday season, and don't freeze. I know it's colder where you are, but it's been freezing here in Maine for the last couple days. In the teens...it's too early for that.
Ditto to everything salarsen said! Thanks for spreading awareness about cool drives like this :)
What a great idea for giving back. I'm glad there are so many organizations promoting literacy for kids.
Gorgeous photos! And I had to laugh that it warms up to snow where you live :)
What a wonderful idea! And your view is so gorgeous.
Breathtaking pictures! And what an awesome program. There's a program I'm familiar with as a teacher called Books of Hope. Students write and publish high-quality books and send them to students in Uganda. Super cool program!
It sounds like a wonderful organization!
Sounds cool! And I want your view.
this is neat and your view IS gorgeous. Cold, but gorgeous :)
It's just hard to imagine children who have never had a book of their own! I want to empty out my library right now. Thanks for the info.
Awesome! Love this charity!
Your photos are gorgeous! Enjoy the snow - we've got a bit too :)
Wonderful pictures, Terry! We are under our first Blizzard warning tomorrow. I'm not sure if I believe the weather guys after last weeks big storm...I mean dusting of snow...
It sounds like LitWorld is a wonderful organization!
I've been surrounded by books as long as I can remember. I can't imagine what life would be like without them. What a good cause!
Great pictures! And thanks for the link. What a great way to spread reading around the world.
What gorgeous photos - we had our first snow last night and woke up to a white world this morning.
That's awesome what LitWorld is doing - thanks for passing it on for us!
Great photos Terry. And thanks for the connection to LitWorld. A friend of my did her Peace Corps work in Sierra Leone.
That's a great idea. And even if we don't have a whole lot right now, we know where to come when we do!
