Books for baseball tickets!

Yep, you read the title right: The Los Angeles Times' "Reading By 9" program is hosting a book drive at Dodger Stadium tonight. Fans who donate one new or slightly used book for elementary students (K-3rd grade) will receive one free voucher for a ticket to a future Dodgers home game. All of the books will be donated to public schools in Southern California. Also, Scholastic will also be donating one additional book to school libraries for each book donated by Dodger fans. This is a great program that gets books to libraries that all-too-frequently don't have much of a budget. So if you live in L.A., and you're heading to the game tonight, you should definitely remember to bring a book!
