Library Loot! 08/23/12


Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

This meme is the best! I wish more bloggers participated. (That’s a hint people!)

Let’s show our libraries some big time love! They deserve it.

I’m heading to the library in a few hours to pick up a few requests that are there waiting for me. Bless you inter-library loan, I don’t know what I’d do without you. (I’d be deeply in debt for one thing)
Here are the lovelies that I’ll be picking up:

There are a few more books in transit, I’ll be able to brag about those next week. Have a good one Relentless Readers!

As always, happy reading!

Concord Free Press

Free books? Local charity? Sign me up please.

I learned about Concord Free Press via the fine folks over at The Estella Society.

How fantastic is this?

What is the Concord Free Press?
We publish books and give them away for free—online and via a network of independent bookstores. In exchange, we ask readers to make a voluntary donation to a local charity or someone in need in their community. And we ask them to pass the book on, so that every time the book changes hands, it generates more contributions.

Why are you doing this?
It’s an experiment in publishing and community. We’re interested in expanding the definition of publishing and re-invigorating the book. Books aren’t dead yet.
