In the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort, publishers and concerned citizens across the United States are pitching in--with books and other comforting supplies (toys, puzzles, paper, pens, music CDs, and more). Here are just a few of the organizations that are collecting books for kids and adults: Embrace Mississippi's Children, I AM Foundation, and Just Us Books. Remember books make a difference. Why not donate a book today?!
