Amazon wishlists for libraries

Nearly 300 libraries maintain Amazon wishlists.

Burlingame Public Library's Wish List
Location: Burlingame, California

About me: All books on this list were destroyed in the Presidents' Day Flood of 2003. Thank you for your help!

Ellison Public Library's Wish List
Location: Scandinavia, WI

About me: Our little library serves its community well, but would appreciate donations of any of the selected material. We have a very limited budget for collection development and a very diverse and interested patronage for all sorts of items. Thank you.
