Gary D. Price, The Virtual Acquisition Shelf and News Desk Guy, sent over This AP Story that says One year after launching a foundation to buy books for
America\'s libraries, first lady Laura Bush said Tuesday that she\'s off to a $5
million start -- with help from her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Bush said the donations will help expand the collections of neglected
libraries ``from fact and fiction to periodicals and prize-winning books.\'\'

``... And the wonderful thing is, once a child learns to use a library, the
doors to learning are always open.\'\'
