Pay it Forward - Support World Literacy and Get a Good Deal on Books!
I think many of us take being able to read for granted. It must be very painful not to be able to do so (especially in the U.S. where most people CAN read).
Following is a post by Judi Barrett (Idabel, OK) in support of world literacy and how you can contribute.
Another site which supports literacy, and which you can contribute to just by signing up for a daily reminder to click is: The ABC Literacy Site
Pay it Forward - Support World Literacy and Get a Good Deal on Books!
I used to SHOP when I was ready to buy a book.. Amazon, Google, AbeBooks, Barnes & Noble, etc etc. UNTIL I found Better World Books.
Better World Books donates a portion of their proceeds to help fund literacy and libraries. To date, they have donated Eight Million, Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand, Four Hundred Twenty-Eight Dollars and Eighty Six Cents ($8,974,428.86) (they have a counter on their website and you can watch the funds grow live).
At Better World Books you get great prices on both used and new books plus free shipping within the United States and only $3.97 outside the United States.
The funds that are donated to build schools, start libraries, and provide scholarships WORLDWIDE.
Book prices start at $3.48.. and they often have sales such as 5 books from the bargain bin for $15. I often find soemthing that I've been meaning to read. I've also given Better World gift certificates to readers.
So, do you like to read? Do you want to help with something bigger than we are and make a real impact in the world? Why not accomplish both things with a little online shopping at Better World.Photo Courtesy of jeltovsky
