A very cool place to look for books is the Ex Libris bookstore (and library!) in Marblehead, just east of the Kelleys Island ferry.

Not only can you donate books to this all volunteer organization,

but they sell some vintage and rare books at great prices. http://marpenlib.org/

I support breast cancer research and feel comfortable in recommending this site which provides free mammograms

for women with every click. While there, check out the tabs

across the top. You can choose to support other organizations too including aminal rescue and the rainforest.

You can click on the pink ribbon to the left for a link to that site

and I encourage you to click every day.
