Hi all... I am back from my trip to TN with exciting news! I met up with Julie Winklestein, a grad student at the University of Tennessee. Julie gathers books together and hands them out for FREE at weekend events for RAM (Rural America... www.ramusa.org). This past May she went through 300 books in one day!!! Mostly children's books with a few for young adults and even fewer for adults. After talking to Julie for 2 hours in a local coffee shop I made the commitment to deliver 1,000 new children's books (yes, that's right... 1,000) at the July 2010 event in Wise, VA.
