Powell’s Schoolbook Challenge

My favorite online bookstore, Powell’s, has launched the Powell’s Schoolbook Challenge, with the goal of placing 50,000 new books on the shelves of Portland and Beaverton (Ore.) school libraries. Now through February 28, Powell’s will purchase ten additional new books for every $5.95 one-book pledge they receive, donating all to their local school libraries.

I hope the Portland and Beaverton media specialists have their collection development lists in order!
