Libraries Helping Communities
06.22.2009
As the first initiative of the newly formed Community Services Committee of SCLA, we are asking for your help in supporting Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk in their continued effort to build affordable housing for those families who would not be able to afford a home otherwise. As you may know, Habitat of Suffolk is currently building houses right here in Suffolk County in the towns of Bellport, Bay Shore, Shirley, and Westhampton.
Habitat has partnered with EcoPhones, a company that recycles ink cartridges, cell phones, digital cameras, laptops and iPods. Upon receiving these items, EcoPhones will pay Habitat for those items. You may go on their site: www.EcoPhones.com to get more detailed information.
Packets have been sent out to all Public Libraries so you may already have seen a box set up in your staff room. Any Special or Academic libraries that would like to participate, please contact me and I will sent you a description of the recycled items, flyers and a free fed-ex mailing label.
Thank you.
