New Orleans Library
The New Orleans Public Library is asking for any and all hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages in an effort to restock the shelves after Katrina. The staff will assess which titles will be designated for its collections. The rest will be distributed to destitute families or sold for library fundraising.
Please send your books to:
Public Relations
New Orleans Public Library
219 Loyola Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70112
**UPDATE - my anonymous commenter has mentioned that the New Orleans Library cannot handle the infulx of books, and gave me a website that shows alternative ways that you can help them. Thanks, whoever you are!

On another note, I've done some planting over the past week. Planted some herbs, tomatoes and peppers from seed. Starting an avacado plant, and finally found a good spot for the pink rosebush my neighbor gave me for my birthday. The weather seems tobe breaking here and spring is well on it's way. Makes me want to clean, lol.
We're also getting a horse. Yes, a horse. One of our friends has a few of them but he's moving and wants to find good homes for some of them. He's offered to help joe build a good fence if he comes over and helps with his fence, which he did today. We're supposed to get her next week, and when we do I will most definitly post pics, she is so beautiful.
Things are getting exciting with Jess's prom coming up in a couple days. We have everything except her shoes, which we'll get on Friday, and she's getting her hair done Sat morning. I will post pics sat night or sunday morning, I know she's going to have a great time. :)
The library (like everyone else around here) does not have enough staff to handle or deal with these thoughtful gifts.
Go to their FAQ site for suggestions on how to help
