This is a library-loving blog challenge!
For every commenter on this post between now and 27, I will donate $1 (one dollar) to my local library, which is Pleasant Grove Library.
How easy could it be? You comment, I cough up the money, the library gets a gift! If you don’t know what to say in your comment, “I love libraries” will do.
Note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so if a single person leaves 50 comments, that still only counts once! But you can do more by spreading the word ... please link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money.
If you’re moved to make a flat-fee donation to your library, or to start your own challenge, you are quite welcome, and please leave that information in the comments.
For a complete list of participating bloggers (and to visit other sites where you can help libraries just by leaving a comment!) visit the writerjenn blog at http://writerjenn.livejournal.com.

Great blog challenge, Taffy!
What a great idea! I love libraries, too!
Hey, that's my library, so here's a comment.
Thanks for participating!

HOLY COW!! I just discovered I wasn't a follower of your blog. How the heck did I let that slip past me. Well, I have rectified the problem. So pay up, girl. Hope you get a lot of comments. I'll pass the word.
Hugs
I am so impressed with this! I love my library and I know my Mom goes to yours all of the time. Good luck with this. I think I will post this on my blog and direct people to you. :)
The library in Boise, Idaho says "LIBRARY!" on the building in big bold red letters. I love that.
Books hold the real riches of the world and libraries are treasure filled spaces open to public exploration. You got yourself a comment and a new follower.
What a Wonderful contest idea!
You rock! What an awesome thing to do.
I came from Utah Children's Writers and will happily comment to support your local library. Way to go!
You are awesome! What a wonderful thing to do.
Good luck with your challenge!
Lovely library!
I love libraries!
Hip Hip Hooray for libraries!
Libraries!
Holy Crow! I decided to check my blog to see if anyone had read the post and look at all you awesome library-loving people!
THANKS!
Wait. Does my post count? LOL
This is a fabulous idea, Taffy! I love it! (and I love libraries). My five year old just discovered there are more Hardy Boys books than we have on our shelves & he said, "I guess we'll just have to go to the library so we can read the rest of them, Mom." So totally cute!
Good luck with your challenge!
I'm back to let you know that I've caught the bug. I reposted your challenge on my blog and also will donate to my local library for each commenter there. This is such a great idea. Hopefully you'll get some more followers and more comments from it.

I love libraries. Every child needs access to a library with free books.
This is great! Most libraries are in dire straights right now! And can use all the help they can get.
Thanks for the library support and for the musical treat.
woo! libraries rule :)
Wow! What a brave woman you are. My budget is so tight right now, I'm not sure I could handle a project like this. But good luck to you!
Thanks for participating in the challenge, Taffy!

Hooray for libraries!
Word verification (honestly): "stingier." The opposite of you!
Libraries are the best! Such an awesome cause. =D
Love libraries! Thanks, Taffy!
“When people who can read and write start fighting on behalf of people who can’t, you just end up with another kind of stupidity. If you want to help them, build a big library or something somewhere, and leave the doors open.”~Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times.
Excellent idea! I love libraries. :D
Yay LIBRARIES! I love this challenge. I just joined in at my own blog, too.

I heart libraries!
Good luck on your challenge! I squealed a little when Nathan Bransford commented on mine too :) (my husband looked at me like I was crazy, a common occurance)
A library without books is like a body without a soul. I know I heard something profound like that somewhere.
I love libraries! I start taking my kids from the time they are babies and we go almost every weekend!
Thanks for doing this. I'm thrilled to see how many people are participating! Libraries really need our support now during this tough economic climate.
Hooray for Taffy for loving our library!

Utah Children's Writers sent me here. I can't believe I haven't seen your blog before. I've got to go exploring here.
Why do I love working at PG Library? Because I meet people who become great friends there, people like Taffy!
Thanks for supporting libraries!
Hooray for libraries!

Every town, no matter how small, should have a library.
It's great that you're doing this. My library-loving post is at www.ishtamercurio.blogspot.com
Count my comment in for your library! And it's so nice of you to do this!
I used to take my little red wagon to the library as a kid, fill it up with books, then return the next day. Bravo for supporting libraries!
I got my first books from the Bookmobile. I thought it was the most amazing thing EVER.
Libraries rock my world!
Awesome! And thanks for the comment on mine! Amy
yay for libraries, yay for you!
What a mitzvah!
Wonderful Cause
Well done all.
