I want to thank everyone who has sent books to Lakeview Branch Library in Oakland. Lakeview is a one room library right on Lake Merritt in the heart of Oakland. Since December we have only had $200.00 to spend on books (that was about 8 books). Since the Pamie.com drive started we have received around around 30 adult and children's books. We are thrilled that citizens from our community and elsewhere have felt moved to help. One thing for sure these branch libraries were saved by concerned citizens. Libraries are the heart and soul of freedom. They are the access to ideas, knowledge and information. Without them many citizens lose access to history, art, philosophy, fantasy and the magic of divergent and internal thought.

Kindness of people like you should be acknowledged. We thank you.
