[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: book recycler

[Jodie D'Alexander]

I've donated "weeded" books to The American Friends of Kenya.   My contact
is Audra Zimmermann.  (I learned of her/ this organization at the CASL
conference in 2024).

She came to my school last spring to pick up the boxed books in her car.  I
feel good that my weeded books are finding a new home.

Here is her contact info:  supportafklibraries at gmail.com
