"We are New Orleans Charter Science and Math High School, a new public high school which opened after Katrina. We are an open enrollment school with an emphasis on science and math instruction and high standards. We're trying to build a library that will support research and independent reading, and we are starting with almost no books. Without leaving your computer, you can donate books by going to our wish list at Amazon.com. Click on the "Wish List" tab at the top of Amazon's home page and enter "NOCSAM" in all caps in the wish list search bar. Our giant wish list can be a chore to read through so we recommend you sort it by title and view it in the compact mode. Please vote with your heart for a book you loved reading or one you think every kid should read. Amazon.com automatically ships your donation to us."

I'm sending them A Streetcar Named Desire, New Orleans: Mon Amour, and a book about Creoles in Louisiana. I saw A Streetcar Named Desire back in September with Erin as part of a Katrina relief moviefest, and I bought New Orleans: Mon Amour when I was in Locust Books (one my favorite local bookstores) ordering Poppy Z. Brite's Liquor (also about New Orleans). The way I see it, those books will help the students renew their faith in their city. They've been through a lot and they deserve to know how awesome their city was and is and will be.
