Libraries throughout West Virginia are putting up posters to adverstise the fundraiser, and handing out vouchers to patrons they can use to donate a portion of their Books-A-Million purchase to helping flooded libraries in West Virginia.

You can also find vouchers on the Library Commission website: http://www.librarycommission.wv.gov/Pages/default.aspx
