[Libs-Or] Donating Children's books

[Jennifer Maurer]

Yesterday I emailed Oriole Inkster, the principal at Lookingglass Elementary, to ask if they were accepting book donations for the library and to ask if there was a way to specify monetary donations for the library. This is her response:

Yes, you can designate where you want your donation used. Yes, also, to the book donations. We are making a small cozy library in a room we were using for another purpose, but have cleared out because library is a priority. You may drop books off at the school, and you may also give money directly in the office rather in “Go Fund Me.” If anyone wishes to send funds directly to the school, our address is:

Lookingglass Elementary
7421 Lookingglass Rd
Roseburg, Oregon 97471

Here’s an article from The News-Review about the fire: http://www.nrtoday.com/news/public_safety/fires/fire-destroys-gymnasium-at-historic-lookingglass-elementary/article_e7cfdfec-68bd-54c6-9dc7-9ee6048c47fb.html.

They might be referring to the fire at Lookingglass School in Roseburg that destroyed the building that housed the gym, library, and more. There is a Go Fund Me page set up. “The building does have insurance, but at this time we are not sure what items will be covered. With that the money raised from this account will go directly to Lookingglass to replace items not covered from insurance.” There’s also an address to make donations directly to the school, if you want your donation to be tax deductible.

I was asked this question today.  Do any of you have any information?

"There was a school library over by Roseburg that burned over the Christmas break.  Have you heard if they are asking for donations and if they are, do they have any parameters for the donations?"
