I was approached by Lisa at Online Publicist asking if I would like to participate in the Dewey Tree Project for this sadly memorable holiday season, to mark and support the year since this wonderful woman, Dewey’s passing. How could I not but say, “Yes!”
Since joining the book blog circuit in August of 2009 (just four months ago) – barely a day goes by where I don’t see Dewey’s name brought up in conversation whether it’s through a blog posting or a tweet. Because I did not know Dewey, I would love to hear your stories – if you did. How she impacted your life and encouraged you to become a better, more giving person. If you are interested in participating in the Dewey Tree Project, please read Lisa’s Dewey Tree post as it gives all the information.
Here is a brief overview of how it works: (Directions borrowed from Lisa, thank you!)
- Gather up the books you can live without. It can be 4 books, 10 books, or 20 books!
- Find a worthy group you would like to donate your overflow books to. It can be your local library, a literacy campaign (mine will go to the literacy center I volunteer for), or overseas. There’s a great list of book donation sites here on the ALA. Find a charity that speaks to you!
- Then take a picture of your donation and email it to Lisa by clicking HERE . It can be a pic of the mailing label on your package, one of your kids giving a box of books to a librarian, or you handing books over to your literacy center. Be creative and have fun!
If you are participating, please free feel to add your link to Mr. Linky below. I WILL be checking each site to ensure that you have the button on it, linked to Lisa’s website. Here is the code to add the above button!
Thank you to Dewey for being a leading pioneer in the book blog circuit! You will be missed by many!
Thanks so much for supporting this project, Allison!
