I think it's time to close my Bookmooch account. I haven't sent a book in over a year, and haven't requested anything in about the same time. However, I do have some points accumulated. I'd like to donate them to a worthy cause; I have had a look at the list on the Bookmooch website, but if you'd like to recommend a charity here, please do so!

Books for Keeps uses points to get children's books to give to children to help stop "summer slide". Here's their website.

Thanks, RidegewayGirl! Any more worthy causes, anyone?

There was a books for prisoners program I used to donate to, but they are no longer active. I bet BFK is one of the few active charities left on Bookmooch.

Chazzard,
Uh, not quite what you're planning but there is a book I'd like and like you no one has requested a book from me in over a year. But this is a teaching strategy book that I'd really like to have. If you could smooch me 2 points I'll smooch them forward to a charity when some one mooches from me in the future.

Thanks for the points! I was able to get the book I wanted for my professional development. I will of course pay it forward!
