Because this is what I live for

We're still working hard on the Guys Lit Wire Book Fair for Ballou High School in Washington DC. It's gotten off to a slow start this year and as we close in on 100 books bought, we are still only 20% through the list. If you have $10 to spare, there are many titles that could be bought for that reasonable amount (and even cover shipping). Please take a look at the GLW post and do what you can to help us get this library one step further to reaching the ALA standard of eleven books for each student. (There are currently two books for each student at Ballou.)

This book fair is a daunting task and a great challenge. We are in for the long haul with Ballou though and want to stay with them as long as they need us. This is a moment booklovers should live for - to change the world for some teens who are desperate for books and need our help to acquire them. Please step up to the plate with Guys Lit Wire; we'd love to have you join us on this project.
