I was surprised to see an active school out here today and was happy to be able to contribute. In the past my timing was off and the donations had been closed when I saw the schools posted. Doubly sweet that it is in Texas. This was a terrible year for so many Texans with the flooding we saw. My community was untouched, just 111 miles inland from the gulf. We opened a new elementary school this year and completed renovations on all the school campuses. It is a great way to celebrate Christmas this year!

It does my heart good to see children so excited about receiving books. Books have always been a big part of my life from a young age. I hope this gesture brings the joy of reading for a lifetime for these kiddos. Vickie

I accumulate way more credits than I'll ever use in my lifetime and love to be able to help a little to pass on my love of reading to schools that need some books. Great that we have PaperBackSwap to assist us and the schools with this awesome venture!

Great to see that the books got to the kiddos before Christmas and to hear how happy they were to get them! Thank you Richard and crew for making this happen and the same to all who donated. PBS peeps are the best!

I was thrilled to see the photos of the students excited about the books. My donation went to a very good cause. Kids, keep reading. It is a great way to see and learn about the world, and yourself. Ralph Wondra, a lifetime reader.
