The Literacy site is trying to give away 100,000 free books to poor kids by Christmas. To date, they have only been sponsored for 48,434.

In order to sponsor all you have to do is go to the site Here and click on a button. For evey button click, advertisers pay for books. It is free for you.

As they say at the site:

"Your click on the red "Give Free Books" button at The Literacy Site generates books for children in need, funded by site sponsors and provided through our award winning charity partner, First Book. In the last three years, First Book has distributed over 20 million books to children in hundreds of communities.

The number of books we put in children's hands depends on the number of visitors who click the "Give Free Books" button on The Literacy Site. Please click every day, and encourage friends and family members to do the same."

What a great thought, jan. Thanks for giving us the link!

I used to have a site bookmarked that did the same for breast cancer research. Wonder if anyone knows what that site is? I'd love to find it again.
