AALL 2009 Service Project - Uncle Sam Wants Your Books!

DianeMurley | May 06, 2009 10:20

It’s time to start gearing up for our Children’s Book Drive! This book drive is held every year in conjunction with the AALL annual meeting, and in honor of our host city this year’s theme is “Uncle Sam Wants Your Books!” You can contribute a book from the project's wishlist at http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/20S6D48IVIM66, send a check (made out to AALL) to Ms. Stacy Etheredge, University of Richmond School of Law, Muse Law Library, 28 Westhampton Way, Richmond, VA 23173, or drop off books or online gift cards or checks in D.C. during the AALL Meeting at the Social Responsibilities SIS (SR-SIS) table in the Exhibit Hall.

Heather Hill Elementary is in the Prince George’s County School District, a Maryland county that borders D.C. It is the 17th largest school district in the country, with a high population of under-served minorities and immigrants. It is also one of the most disadvantaged and economically distressed districts in Maryland, struggling with recent budget cuts and a community that has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Heather Hill Elementary serves a special population as it is a TAG magnet school which, although it provides many opportunities for the students, also creates an extra burden for the constant renewal of library resources.

If you have questions about the book drive, please contact one of the members of the SR-SIS Book Drive Team (Leslie Campbell, leslie.campbell@ao.uscourts.gov, and Stacy Etheredge, sethered@richmond.edu).

The Social Responsibilities SIS and AALL continue the tradition of giving something back to the community that hosts our Annual Meeting through this, our eleventh annual Children’s Book Drive. For a list of the prior book drives see, http://aallnet.org/sis/srsis/projects.html
