As with some of my previous books, I’ve set up a program to make it easy for you to buy copies of With a Little Help for cash-strapped schools and libraries and similar institutions.

Below is a list of institutions seeking donations (don’t worry, we vet all requests to make sure they’re legit), pick out one or more, and buy them a copy. It’s a great way to say thanks for the free ebook and do a solid for a good institution. One of my readers calls it “paying your debts forward with instant gratification.”

If you enjoyed the electronic edition of With a Little Help and you want to donate something to say thanks, come back here and find a teacher or librarian you want to support. Buy a copy for them and one will be printed and shipped, and we’ll put a note up next to their listing saying that they’ve gotten a copy, and thank you by name. If you don’t want to be publicly acknowledged for your generosity, let us know and we’ll keep you anonymous, otherwise we’ll thank you on the donate page.

If you’re a teacher or librarian and you want a free copy of With a Little Help,send an email to givewalh@gmail.com, which is staffed by my awesome donations coordinator, Olga Nunes. Be sure to include your institution’s name, address, phone number, and any notes. Once Olga has vetted your request, your name and institutional address will be posted here so that potential donors can see it.

I’ve done this with four of my titles now, and gotten more than a thousand books into the hands of readers through your generosity. I am more grateful than words can express for this — one of my readers called it “paying your debts forward with instant gratification.” That’s a heck of a thing, isn’t it?

  1. Neil Holmes

    No takers so far? I’ve downloaded the ebook and have the cash for a hard copy for someone burning a hole in my my pocket. C’mon folks, free book! (Also it’s awesome)

  2. Kelly Pielop

    I have requested at least 2 copies (one classroom, one school) and I haven’t heard back yet? If someone wants to donate a copy to our school out here in Chevak Alaska you can send it to:
    Kelly Pielop
    985 KSD Way
    Chevak, Alaska 99563

    If you need to verify the address is the schools address go to chevakschool.org (Team Doctorow can confirm my email address is from the same domain).

  3. Sean McPherson

    Kelly,

    2 copies inbound from Lulu *if* someone t lulu can override their website which will *not* let me set your address as the ship-to as it’s not in the ‘Fedex Database’. I’ll try again tomorrow during biz hours when I can call them.

    Sean from Indiana

  4. Alex Knight

    Jennifer Cross – Redmond, WA

    Got you. On its way!

  5. Sami

    Hi,

    I tried to order a copy for Tri Cities High School in Georgia, but the lulu.com site just took me back to the billing information page when I clicked to confirm the order. Using Mac OSX and FF.

    Not sure what I can do to donate the book…

    Thanks,

    Sami

  6. Kelly Pielop

    Since people are having issues sending the book to the school, the PO box (which is where mail is sent probably since its a rural address) is PO 328 (Chevak,AK 99563)

  7. Stuart Hair

    A copy is on the way to
    Allison Long, NBCT
    Mooresville Middle School
    Mooresville NC

  8. Manuel Maestre Reyna

    Hi!
    I’m trying to donate to the British school of Costa Rica. As expected, though, lulu wants me to give them a ZIP code, which Ana Rojas hasn’t provided.
    Cory, or someone else reading this, can you get in contact with them to get a ZIP code and, if possible, a phone number?
    I just don’t like writing my phone number into a parcel which I’m not going to get, and that is going to a different continent than where I’m living.
    Also, many thanks for this and your previous books!

  9. nope

    Cory,
    One copy of “with a little help” sent to Samoset Middle School via lulu.

  10. Matt Katz

    I didn’t see you’d already bought her one. Now Mooresville Middle school will have two!

    A fine and dandy problem to have.

  11. SpookyFM

    I’d like to donate a copy to the Auckland school on the list. There is a special link for Australia and New Zealand (University of Melbourne) on the order page but the shipping fee there (18 australian dollars) is actually more than twice of Lulu’s fee. Is there a reason for this? Or is it okay if I send it via Lulu?

  12. SpookyFM

    Done. One copy on its way to Epsom Girls Grammar School in Auckland, New Zealand.

  13. Ben

    One Copy sent via Lulu to:

    David Green
    Children’s and Youth Librarian
    Warilla Library
    Shellharbour City Council
    Locked Bag 155, Shellharbour City Centre NSW 2529
    AUSTRALIA

  14. nope

    Hey Cory, do you update this list when you receive word they got their books? It’d be nice to know when they get them.

  15. ushills

    One copy sent via Lulu to:

    Monkfield Park Primary School
    Caroline Stamp-Dod
    School Lane
    Cambourne
    Cambridgeshire, CB75QR
    United Kingdom

    Hope you enjoy it!

  16. SpookyFM

    Hey!
    Did the Auckland copy arrive? The school is still on the list… Or is this simply not being updated anymore?

  17. Faith Roebuck Shergold

    A Lulu package was waiting for me when I got back to work this afternoon! Thank you so much to whoever donated my library’s copy!
    Faith R.S.
    Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library

  18. Matthew Miller

    One copy outbound from Lulu to Jennifer Cross at the Overlake School in Washington state. Thanks to Cory, Craphound and Lulu for making this possible; what a great way to enjoy good books!
