[QUOTE="Star*, post: 99103, member: 4964"] Beth, I have read and printed out more material than I can ever re read again. I contacted our local Governors Continuum of Care and started a lending library. I had an old book shelf, a relief state map, and almost 35 books. I asked anyone here that wanted to send them to me to do so and they would be donated in their name. Other than those the inside of the books were all given a printed label with a picture I designed that said Dudes Lending Library. I created a card catalog of the books and a check out system so they could be returned when a parent who couldn't afford them could have a chance to read them. Some of the administrators there took my material - I had stuff from the NAMI, Mental Health gov. site about how to talk to your kids about drugs, posters and gave it all to them. I kept the stuff about battered and abused women, but made copies which I noticed the last time I went were all gone. If you can't do that - call your local library and ask them if they would be interested. I think it's a wonderful legacy for my son to hear that people are using his library resources for help. Just a thought - rambling also Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
