Building Libraries

I thought that this article on gadling's blog, this article written by Neil Woodburn, was really interesting:

It gives information on Room to Read, a non-profit organization that has built 3,600 libraries in developing countries. Woodburn writes, "For just $3,000 a sponsor can fill an entire room full of books and convert it into a library in Nepal, or a handful of other countries the organization works with. Naturally, smaller donations will help as well.... So pull on that Santa hat and start giving." I don't know if anyone has a service project going on in their schools, but I thought it was something great to think about!
