Constellation Chronicles discussion

As was mentioned in the message that everyone has received or will be getting soon, we are hoping for help with books for our school library. If you have any of the ones listed below or any that would be acceptable for ages from kindergarten to 17 or 18 year old young adults, please contact me and I will get you the address to send them to. I know I speak for our school, teachers, our students as well as myself when I say thank you and you are very appreciated. May you all be blessed for your help.

The most important ones are:
Our Town
The old man and the sea
20,000 leagues under the sea
The Moses of her people: Harriet Tubman
The Odyssey
The Iliad
Beowulf
Silas Marner
Cyrano de Bergerac
Like Water for Chocolate
Cry, the Beloved Country
A Seperate Peace
All Quiet on the Western Front
Catch 22
The Joy Luck Club
The Red Badge of Courage
The Sun Also Rises
Books about King Arthur
Heart of Darkness
Don Quixote
Lord of the Rings series
Poetry from the greats such as
Robert Frost
Elizabeth Barret Browning
Walt Whitman
William Blake
John Keats

Any other Classics or extras you have and would like to pass on would be great. These are just a list of ones we discussed that we wanted or needed for assignments that were first on the list.

I'll look through what I have, but I can't promise anything. I don't tend to have duplicate titles, and most classics and such that I have are either keepers or current books for my classes. If I had heard about this back when money wasn't so tight, I'd buy extra copies and send you a bunch, but that's no longer an option. Now, even postage is a lot of money.

Though, if you have other books to offer in trade (or can come up with money to buy credits), you may want to try paperbackswap.com. You can't really build a library that way, but it should let you get the ones you most critically need in exchange for some that aren't as important. Hopefully, you'll at least be able to get some of the books needed for assignments and such. I use the site all the time, and it's great.

Tiffany,

Thank you for looking. I do appreciate it. YEah, the post office is a lot. The only thing that helps is that there is a media rate if it is all books and there are the new boxes for postage that if it fits the box it is one price.

I do not have extras but will pass that addy on to the teachers and maybe that will help. For the fundraiser we did, we got 50 dollars. That got taken to bookcloseouts.com and we were able to get 10 or 12 books( can not remember exact) and shipping. They are a great sight. I have found books for as low as 84 cents. Check it out you may find some you want there for outrageously cheap.

Cindy,

Thank you so much for the message. We are blessed because of you and hope you are too.

This is a great charity, Melissa. I hope you enjoy my free books.

I wanted to take this time to thank Vincent again for letting us post this here and for all of the wonderful people who have taken the time to read this. The thoughtfulness is appreciated.

Vincent,

I just wanted to let you know they arrived. Thank you so much. The signature was great. I know the kids and teachers are all going to be very happy to have them to read.

Sure thing, Melissa!
