The Annual Meeting is less than 2 months away! I know how startling that
is, time is certainly moving quickly. There is still time to donate to
this year's book drive - ReCovering New Orleans: One Book at a Time.
The Social Responsibilities SIS has chosen the Recovery District Schools
in New Orleans as the recipient of this years book drive proceeds.
Since there is such a dire need at so many New Orleans public schools,
whose libraries were badly damaged, we thought that we would have the
most impact by donating to the Recovery School District ("RSD"). The
RSD now has 25 needy schools (there were 21 schools when I sent the
original email announcing the book drive) under its umbrella including
elementary, middle and high schools. Because of the shortage of both
staff and resources, the RSD can not provide us with a list of titles
but instead would like to encourage us to use our own judgment when
purchasing books for the District. More information about the Recovery
School District can be found at:

While the donation of books will be gladly accepted and we do not want
to discourage anyone from donating books, the RSD let us know that cash
and gift cards, particularly from Barnes & Noble, would be welcome as
well. We mention Barnes & Noble specifically because the RSD is
receiving a very heavy discount from them so that the gift cards and
cash can be stretched much further.
Books, checks (payable to AALL) and gift cards can be sent directly to
Carol Billings, SR Book Drive, Law Library of Louisiana, 400 Royal
Street, New Orleans, LA 70130-2104.
We have already begun to receive donations for this years book drive so
please keep them coming and if you have any questions please do not
hesitate to contact Carol Billings (cbillings@lasc.org
<mailto:cbillings@lasc.org> ) or Alison Alifano (alifanoa@sullcrom.com
