Just in time for the holiday season, the Recovery School District of New Orleans has received a generous donation of 150,000 books from Barnes and Noble and Reader to Reader.  AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is very excited to help distribute these books to schools in time for them to be handed them out to students as festive gifts before break.  You may remember Reader to Reader from the Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie Book project… well, they are back with a mission. Teaming up with Barnes and Noble to truck in 2 18 wheelers, that’s 48 pallets, yes 150,000 books… guess what I’m doing next week. Please raise a glass this season for people like Mo and David and Angelo. You make my job easy and challenging, heart warming and back breaking… for this, I thank you. You are righteous.

And when you are at Barnes and Noble, picking up the complete DVD set of both seasons of Pushing Daisies (troy reccomended and approved) or John Irving’s new Book (what is it about him and hands?) , take a minute to thank your bookseller… they were instrumental in making this possible.

oh yeah… and Go Saints
