Former New Orleans resident and Gulf native author Janis Owens has created an organization to provide books for relief centers, libraries and schools hit by Hurricane Katrina. The program is getting enthusiastic support from the Southeastern Booksellers Association, the American Library Association, and authors.

Anyone who would like to participate should contact Janis Owens at   folks@booksforfolks.org.
