This is a library-loving blog challenge created by Jennifer Hubbard I found her thru my favorite YA author extraordinaire and good friend Cynthia Jaynes Omololu.For every commenter on this post between now and midnight on March 27th, I will donate $1 to the San Leandro Public Library. Go and comment at Cynthia’ blog too!. My goal is $200! (Shush, don’t tell the hubs!)
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! (Anonymous comments count, although they are screened until I can view them–but please leave at least a nickname or pseudonym if you use the anonymous option.) HOWEVER, since I’m getting into this game a little late, I’ll count ya twice if you tweet this (do let me know that you have!)
You can do even 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.
Thank you for joining in!

I love libraries!!
But I can't leave without saying 'way to go' for participating in such an awesome challenge. I love it
Great cause, and I support you and our library. I especially love that I can now download books to my iPod for my transports to NY. Three books gets me there and back.
Hooray for libraries!
Very cool, this is so awesome for libraries
Lots of library love! The Texas Sweethearts are participating in the challenge as well: http://texassweethearts.blogspot.com/2010/03/library-loving-blog-challenge.html
Every town, no matter how small, should have a library.
Good luck!

What a fantastic idea! Count me in for a tweet too.
What an awesome challenge. We love taking the kids to the library and we all end up getting books. We got a membership to our local library from my husbands parents for Christmas and we love taking advantage of it.
Thanks for participating in the challenge! My library-loving entry can be found here: http://bit.ly/ilovelibraries

Hooray for libraries!
I couldn’t live without libraries.
I'm participating in the library blog challenge, though I've gotten a bit of a late start:
Michael Crichton’s Recommended Reading – Library Promo
I love this challenge
San Leandro Public Library could totally use this money! Great idea!
I don't if it counts as a vote if I comment on your newest post, so I am doing both to make sure you reach your goal.
Could you email your address to me at jennifer[at]jenniferhubbard[dot]com? I'm sending info to all the participants in the challenge. Thanks!!!

Thanks for supporting a library.
Thanks for helping out. Libraries are so great!
yay for libraries!
I just thought I would share a story about when I thought I was donating to our library. I'm from Texas- so the library systems probably work differently in each state. But one time when I was turning in late books again, I mentioned to the librarian, at least my money was going to a good cause, she casually mentioned that this money did not actually help the library, but went to the government. Speeding tickets, she said, funded the library. I am glad that your contribution will actually be direct.
I love libraries! I do, I visit one almost every week.
