You can also set up a Titlewish Fundraiser through Follett.  http://www.titlewish.com/  It is very easy to set up.

 Mary Lee,
 
 Welcome to the $0 budget club.  : (    We in
 Norwalk haven't had library budgets for going on 6
 years.  I'm not sure how long it's going to take to
 recover.  Please do share any info you find in your
 research!
 
 Meanwhile, let me recommend:  1) apply for DonorsChoose
 grants to supplement the collection.  Requests that
 show library collaboration with a classroom teacher tend to
 get noticed, so sit down with a teacher, map out a project,
 see what resources you'll need beyond your existing
 collection, and submit a proposal for those items; 2) apply
 for the James Patterson/Scholastic reading grant if and when
 it rolls around again; 3) if you're a member of AASL, ALSC,
 or YALSA, see if they have grants available; 4) comb used
 book sales and Goodwill, and take up a bottle/can collection
 for redemption in your library--because, as I remind people,
 20 empty water bottles equals one Goodwill
 paperback.   
 
 Good luck!

  Hi all, 
  
  I had no money for library books last year & am trying
  to get some. I remember somebody once said that it takes
  five years to recover from a zero library book budget.
 Does
  anyone have any research to back this up? I'm continuing
 to
  research this & will let you know.
  
  Thanks,
  Mary Lee
