Looking for Book Donations Online

Oakland Public Library has received more than 600 books since putting its need for donations on Amazon's wish list in early April 2003. "(Dana) Heidrick (adult collection development director) said the Oakland Public Library has received requests for guidance from other libraries around the country, eager to mount their own Buy-a-Book campaigns. Among them are California libraries in Chula Vista, Norwin, Oroville, Oxnard, Roseville and the counties of Marin and Monterey."
