Starting from November 13, 2010 to April 30th 2010, it will be my mission for a year to try to collect 100, 000 books for the Metro Detroit Literary Community.
I know the impact of books in a home for a child and I want to give every home that doesn't have books in Detroit some.
This sounds like an interesting challenge and I'm asking everyone to help me.

Why?
I love books. My mother put that love in my heart way before I came into this earth and I'm blessed to have passed this love to my children.
Now I want to share my love with everyone out there who struggles to make a choice to buy a book or pay a bill in Detroit. I don't want to see anyone have to make that choice.
Plus statistics states even one book in a household increases the chances of a child graduating from high school*
If you would like to drop your book off in person, subscribe to this site (see sidebar) and when you see I'm having an event, come and bring your books to donate (while picking up a couple of copies of mine - although that's not a requirement).
