[Libs-Or] Bring "Books for China" Donations to OLA

[Jim Scheppke]

Dear Colleagues:
 
As I hope you already know, the State Library and the International
Relations Roundtable or OLA are collaborating this year to collect surplus
library books to send to libraries in our sister province in China.  We are
hoping to collect enough books to fill a 20 ft. shipping container, between
now and September, and in order to reach this goal, we need every library to
help.
  
If staff from your library is attending the OLA Conference in Salem, April
1-3, please consider sending your book donations with them.  Books can be
dropped off in two ways:
 
-      Large donations  (approx. 5 boxes of books or more) can be dropped
off at the Oregon State Library directly.  Please contact Joel Henderson to
schedule a drop-off time, either by email (joel.henderson at state.or.us) or by
phone (503-378-2814).  Please be sure that all books are prepackaged in
boxes.  Drop-off arrangements need to be made by end of business Monday,
March 30.

-      Smaller donations can be dropped off at the OLA Conference
registration table.  Loose books will be accepted, as well as those that are
prepackaged in boxes.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Joel Henderson.  Please refer to
the attached letter for questions regarding the types of books we would like
donated.  If you are unable to bring books with you to OLA, we will still be
accepting books through the end of August, so feel free to stop by and drop
books off anytime between now and then.  Just contact Joel Henderson and let
him know when you will be in town.
 
Thank you for your involvement in this very special program.  Librarians
across the Fujian Province will greatly appreciate your donations.
