This is from Paul:

The mission is to share this opportunity.  

Within your zip code, there are probably more than a dozen little free libraries.  To find yours go to the little free library map and plug in your zip code.

Put a stack at the local organic grocery community room or community bulletin board with a little sign that says "free take one".  

Give 12 copies away to 12 people you work with.   Maybe come in early and put a copy on everybody's chair.

Set aside the 12 copies and give them to people as gifts for birthdays and christmas:

  - sisters, brothers, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, sons, daughters, grandchildren
  - aunts, uncles, cousins
  - close friends, neighbors

Donate 4 copies to:

  - the local public library
  - high school library
  - community college library
  - university library

Give 12 copies to the staff at your local re-store. They are all about building stuff - even a better world!

Go to three local used book stores and see if they will buy 4 copies from you for a buck each.  

Donate three copies to the goodwill

Sell the books for a quarter at a yard sale

Arrange for a copy for every student at a local PDC or related workshop

Donate the books for an NPR fundraiser (or other fundraisers)

Give 12 books to a gregarious, extroverted friend who has no problem giving books to people



The idea is to try to infect 12 brains with what is in the book.  Assuming that a person reading this is shy, how do you get the 12 books out to 12 different brains?  What else needs to be added to this list?


 
Is that a banana in your pocket? I'm just asking for this tiny ad:
