About the Book Drive for the Louisville Free Public Library

There are some awesome people in blogland and in the publishing industry.  Plain and simple.

This is what I’ve got in my garage…

The Book Drive

I don’t know if the picture shows very well just how many books came in.  We’re probably looking at between 300-500 books.  I haven’t had the chance to count them recently but trust me, there’s a heck of a lot of books there.

I received donations from:

  • Berkley Publishing
  • Ellora’s Cave Publishing
  • Samhain Publishing

Authors who donated include:

  • Christine Feehan
  • Lori Foster
  • Meg Cabot
  • Mark Henry
  • Bronwyn Jameson
  • (and that list goes on and on… I’ll beg off listing them all because it’s early and my brain is lacking caffeine)

Readers sent in a HUGE amount of books.

There’s one lady in particular who ordered a ton of new books from Amazon to send.  I’ve lost count of how many she bought for this book drive.

All in all… we did pretty damn good, I think.

At this time, the Louisville Library has requested I end the book drive.  It will be a while still before they can take the books.  I’ll continue to store them here and at some point, I will try to go through and do a better count, list the authors who donated, etc.

For everybody that donated and helped spread the word…. Thank you.
