I got an email from someone at the Red Hook school I mentioned yesterday. They don’t want any more books and don’t want to be mentioned on the blog.
OTBKB would like to personally thank everyone who heeded the call. The Community Bookstore is setting up a library in a school in New Orleans. I will get more info on this and let you all know.
It was called to my attention that there was mention of our book
drive on your Blog site. I do not know who sent it to you.Secondly, I am totally swamped by offers of books and
cannot keep up the demand so I would appreciate your removing that
notice.
Thanks but no thanks. We don’t need no books in Red Hook. LMAO. Okay, unfair on my part, but imagine going from famine to feast AND being ungrateful. only in New York.
Did I miss the part where the Red Hook school person said “thank you”??
OOPS I guess I’m partly to blame as I posted your book request on the PSP listserve thinking she’d be grateful to have the book donations. No good deed goes unpunished?
no thank you?
It’s great that they went from zero to too much, no?
good work.
