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

[Burdacki, Sarah]

I also donated books to Audra of the American Friends of Kenya and had a
great experience. Audra is really nice and flexible. She came to pick up my
boxes and I learned a bit about the program, which seems excellent. I plan
to donate to this organization moving forward.
