Valerie, I don’t do children’s books too well but if you have books you’d like
scanned and would send them and don’t want them returned, I’d be glad to scan
them.

Lissi;
Well, a certain number may be but in dismantling the old house we originally
ballparked the books in the house at 3,000. Now I realize it is in excess of
6,000. About 40% appear to be in the collection at this point, but the rest
will take me years and most of the younger children’s books must be done by a
sighted volunteer and often hand typed, so it is very slow going. Still, I am
almost 58, so I hope to have more than a few good years ahead of me for adding
them to the collection.

Valerie, I know what you mean about those boxes and boxes of books. For me they
are a positive thing like the future promising and beckoning.
