In a nutshell, they ask the public to donate money over books: <BR/></I><BR/><B>Does the library accept book donations? </B><BR/>Yes. However, due to storage and staff limitations, we ask that donors consider a few suggestions: <BR/><BR/>If you are a publisher, please contact us in advance at wmascari@gno.lib.la.us before shipping large quantities of books. <BR/><BR/>If you are an individual sending your own used books, please consider making a cash donation instead.<BR/> <BR/>As the NOPL states: <BR/><B>What is the best way to help New Orleans Public Library?</B> <BR/><BR/><I>Monetary donations are the best way to help the library rebuild (link here to donate online). If you would rather mail your donation, please make your check payable to NOPL Foundation and send it to New Orleans Public Library Foundation, 219 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112.</I><BR/> <BR/>While packaging up your old books and mailing them off might seem the perfect solution to the NOPL's problems, do trust that the library better knows its own needs. Keep in mind that a great many books donated to libraries everywhere prove to be non-useful to those institutions; so, if you are moved to help, send money instead. If you want to support the New Orleans libraries with your old books, you can best do so by selling them yourself and giving the proceeds to the NOPL.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
