You may donate books for the libraries and money to ship them to Ghana. Donating Books to the Library Project We are now done collecting books for the 2011 shipment to Ghana. Thanks to all who donated! Thanks to you another 35,000 books are now in transit to fill the shelves of rural libraries in Africa. Donating money for shipping the books The shipment of about 35,000 books to Ghana each year is the single largest expense of the project. We personally guide the shipment through the port of Ghana, and then hire a tractor trailer to take the container to the warehouse. All of these expenses are part of the shipping costs. Other costs are incurred preparing the books for the libraries and traveling to the sites to help the local communities set up the libraries. Aside from the librarians in Ghana who oversee the main library and warehouse, no one receives a salary. Make checks payable to: Books For Africa Library Project (donations are tax deductible) Donations of $25, $35, $50, $100 or more would greatly help with the cost of the shipping and opening of the libraries.
