Wow! Gayle at Accents Inc. in Metairie, LA, has already received her first four bookmarks!

How’s that for motivation?

Gayle’s shop is in the area that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Two-and-a-half years later, things are not back to normal. At least two libraries in Gayle’s area alone are not yet reopened.

If you don’t have a participating shop near you, you might think about sending your bookmark to Gayle. Attach a note to your bookmark with part of your name (JenFW, for instance), where you are from, and maybe the title of one of your favorite books. Think about it: If you received a gift, wouldn’t you want to know who sent it?
