Library-Loving Blog Challenge


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.

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.

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.

Sharon Cohen said...

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!

Bethany Wiggins said...

You rock! What an awesome thing to do.

Taffy said...

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!

Taffy said...

Wait. Does my post count? LOL

Danyelle Ferguson said...

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!

Christine said...

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.

“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.

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.

Deanna Gibbons said...

I love libraries! I start taking my kids from the time they are babies and we go almost every weekend!
