Please vote and vote often. You can cast a vote daily for Louisiana. Right now Louisiana is in 3rd place.
A friend and colleague of mine sent me this link. I would love for Louisiana to receive to 50,000 books, especially with the needs of Southern Louisiana's devastated coastline.
Please forward to other friends of Louisiana.

Dear Library Colleagues,
Please consider voting to have Louisiana host a First Book
distribution of 50,000 free new children's books. The state that
gets the most votes wins the distribution. You can vote DAILY!!!!
Here's the correct link:
http://www2.firstbook.org/whatbook/ In the white box with the blue border, look for the question, "Where would you like to send 50,000 new children's books?" and select " Louisiana " from the drop down menu. Click "Submit."
First Book distributes new books to applicant organizations that
serve areas with 80% low-income populations. The books are free but there is a $0.25/book shipping charge. However, when organizations pick up the books at the distribution site, the books are TRULY free.
If Louisiana wins the distribution, libraries, schools, and early
care and education programs can apply for and pick up thousands of
free new books for Louisiana 's low-income children.
Thanks for your consideration,
Rose Anne St. Romain
