Library Seva Update: on Sri Swamiji's Birthday - one goal has been met!

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta

 

By Sri Swamiji's immense grace, as of today, the auspicious day of

Sri Swamiji's Birthday, the target of sending materials to at least 108

libraries in the U.S. has been met, exact to the number, plus one in Canada.

 

Out of 50 United States, 44 have accepted materials so far. The other 6 are yet

to respond.

 

A total of 773 items have been received by the libraries consisting of 82

separate titles including CDs, DVDs and Books. The target for Guru Purnima is at

least 1008.

 

The top ten states on Sri Swamiji's Birthday, June 3, 2009 are:

 

     Name of State        Number of items received

 

 

California               148

South Carolina        99

New York                 67

Texas                       43

Pennsylvania           37

Arizona                    28

Illinois                       27

Florida                     26

Oregon                    20

Colorado, Iowa      18

 

I thank once again those who have helped me in this project. I thank those who

are continuing to help and inspire. Those who made the initial approach to a

library, and left it at that,  I urge you to please follow up and report to me

the status. Those who have expressed an interest, but have not communicated

since then, I request you to please help out if you can.

 

Many new titles are now available at libraries nationwide. You may avail of this

great opportunity to check out materials, and request them on interlibrary loan

as well.

 

We are still waiting for generous devotees to sponsor this wonderful seva.
