Dear All, Here is some additional information about The Literacy Empowerment Foundation and the offer for free books for Read Across America Day. Most of the books provided are by a single author, Bruce Larkin. They are new and "gently used" paperbacks, and librarians cannot specify which titles they would like to order. You may read some of the books online on the LEF website at www.lefbooks.org/matching_book_grants/ by clicking on the link to each collection and then clicking on each title. Although the LEF books are free, libraries must pay for shipping costs. You may be able to find higher quality paperbacks from other sources that better meet your selection criteria, perhaps at a lower overall cost to libraries. Please do not overlook opportunities for purchasing books through local warehouses and other suppliers. Best regards, Christine McNew Youth Services Consultant Texas State Library and Archives Commission 1201 Brazos Austin, TX 78701 512-463-6623
