I've been donating through them for years, gotten some nice thank-you notes from troops, vets and VA facilities.

Glad to get feedback. I was approved almost immediately, but a little surprised when my request for addresses only came back with one.

gibbsmoryss.bsky.social•1 day ago

There should be a way to change that to a higher number. Only thing I can think of was maybe only one active request for the topic/genre you've got.

Yeah, but we have a TON of genres, so that's not likely it. I'll figure it out. Meanwhile will ship to the first.

Interesting. Yeah, there's definitely a way to request multiple addresses, and the Special Request Directory.

Thank you for posting this! I didn't know about the program. I'm going to go adopt a SF reader for when I have to weed my library's collection. :D
