A lesson to us all

It's easy to complain about lack of funding, we all do that, but some people just rise above the obstacles. An 8th grader in New Jersey has created a nonprofit fundraising organization that's already donated hundreds of books to hospitals, schools and community groups. "Adele's Literacy Library" as reported in School Library Journal, has a goal of presented millions of books to disadvantaged groups. Donations and fundraising events appear to be bringing in enough money to make a real difference in new Jersey and the ambitious Adele is hoping to expand her efforts nationwide. She is surely an example to all of us who sometimes grow weary after years of trying to find funds for books. It's good to know some younger folks are carrying on the work.
