STILL TIME TO SHIP TECH BOOKS TO IRAQ
This is your last chance to release your no-longer-needed computer books to Iraq! They must arrive by next Friday!
BookCrossing and the Freedom Technology Center of Mountain View, California are teaming up to help jump-start Iraq’s infrastructure recovery with computer software and hardware book donations.
Volunteers will meet at Mountain View’s Freedom Technology Center all day Friday, March 26 to pack and ship badly-needed computer books to Iraq. Today in Baghdad, up-to-date PC hardware and software are readily available, but computer books are not. Iraq’s new techies need books to learn.
How can you help? By shipping computer tech books to their California office so they arrive within the next 2 weeks! So go ahead, look on your shelves – anything related to computers will help. Register and then release them to:
Freedom Technology Center
278 Hope St. Suite E
Mountain View, California 94041-1308
USALet’s show them the generosity and responsiveness of the BookCrossing community, and have some fun tracking the progress of the books in Iraq along the way!

You don’t need that old copy of Learning Perl or UNIX in a Nutshell, do you?
