Th...We are so excited about this wonderful service! The deserving, wonderful teens at Children's Hospital in Oakland,CA will be so very happy to receive these books. An RN from the hospital and I will be delivering the books together once they are received at Oakland Public Library. One teen long-term patient will be waiting at the hospital to greet us and be the first recipient of a book. She is quite happy; because she has been begging staff for reading material. The books will be distributed throughout the hospital: they will be placed in the hospital school room library, the teen lounge, in day treatment areas where teens receive treatment for illnesses such as sickle cell, in teen waiting rooms, and will be distributed to teens with immuno-suppressed illnesses who are in isolation. These teens are not permitted to have library books, so will be thrilled to receive donated books! I will keep you posted.<BR/>*Hearts*<BR/>Jodi Mitchell<BR/>Teen Outreach Librarian<BR/>Oakland Public Library<BR/>125 14th Street <BR/>Oakland, CA 94612<BR/>jnmitchell@oaklandlibrary.org<BR/>(510) 238-7233 work phone<BR/><BR/>(510) 238-3934 FAXFloatingcloudshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171876307337790153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204412423523194183.post-50568953848635054872009-03-17T18:10:00.000-07:002009-03-17T18:10:00.000-07:00*does a little dance**does a little dance*Little Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.com
