Thank you!!

I just ordered $160+ worth of books from Amazon for the Seabury library using gift certificates we earned because you've done your Amazon shopping starting at the little portal on this page.

We get a few cents or a few dollars from every purchase made when you start your Amazon shopping session using this search portal.

I think just a few people are doing it so far and you can see how the $10, $12 and $20 gift certificates eventually add up to something that can really help the library get books that kids want to read and that support our curriculum.

Imagine if all of you who use Amazon – and all your family and friends could remember to do this.

If you buy a $10 book, we get about 40 cents. If you buy a $600 camera, we get about $25. It all adds up.

Thanks again for your past support and thanks for the continuing support in the future.

This is one of the sites I use the most - at school, at home, in my copy editing job at The News Tribune.
It's great as a thesaurus, dictionary, pronunciation guide (or for the crossword puzzle solver if you're stumped on the Thursday NY Times puzzle) and they're always improving it. There's a great children's dictionary, too.

Here's what it helped us with today during the Sharks library time because I'm never confident I'm pronouncing Tlingit correctly (Unlike a paper dictionary, you get an audio pronunciation): http://www.wordsmyth.net/
