Pledging $ for Pages Read?

[Parrotfish@AOL.COM]

Dear Lm-Netters,
I'm a brand new media specialist, three-weeks old (started two-days after
finishing student teaching), I need your help with raising some money for my
sad library.  This elementary library I've inherited has an old collection
and my principal wants to update it.  We need suggestions in particular for
our reading day.  How do we ask parents to pledge money for pages read by
students, without seeming greedy?  If you have any experiences or suggestions
please send them to me.  LM-NETters you were a big help in me obtaining this
job, please help me in sustaining this job.  Send replies to:
Bgbeelibwh@aol.com
Thank-you,
Ann Gargula
