The SEAALL Community Service 2007 Charitable Campaign

SEAALL has adopted the libraries of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System as the recipients of SEAALL’s 2007 charitable giving campaign. This Baton Rouge school system has accepted many new students forced out of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, and its libraries need donations of money and books to keep up with its suddenly-expanded student body...

The Community Service Committee encourages all SEAALL members to take advantage of this charitable giving opportunity, even if you are not planning to attend the SEAALL Annual Meeting in Baton Rouge. Members may give to these needy libraries in two ways:

1. Write a check to the “East Baton Rouge Parish School System” and note “Library Services” in the memo line. The Community Service Committee will have a table in the exhibit area at the Annual Meeting, where you may stop to write your check.

If you are not going to be in Baton Rouge, you may send your check to: Terrye Conroy, Coleman Karesh Law Library, University of South Carolina, Main & Greene Sts., Columbia, SC 29208.

2. Donate now via Amazon.com from a special SEAALL list of books, videos and other media needed by the libraries. The items you purchase from this list will be sent directly to our contact in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. If given a choice, please choose new books (as opposed to used ones) to donate.

Go to www.amazon.com. Mouse over "Your Lists" at the top of the page. Then, choose "Wish List." Enter "SEAALL" in the "Find someone's Wish List" box, and our SEAALL 2007 wish list will appear.

Once you have retrieved the list, you can manipulate it in numerous ways. You can choose to view only "unpurchased" items to avoid duplication. You can also sort the list "by title" to read through an alphabetical list. Finally, you may want to view the "compact" list which allows you to see more titles at once.

SEAALL members, let’s show the libraries of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System how generous their law library colleagues can be! Please give generously so these school libraries may better serve their many students.
