Thanks for the invite. I have done a few citation book edit thons during covid.

Recently, I had to get rid of a lot of books to Book sellers. I had to downsize. I had planned on shipping them to the Permaculture Institute library in Techiman, Ghana. But the shipper I used in the past is no longer in business.

A lot of the books are reference books. I mentioned to two of the book sellers that there is always a need for citations to Wikipedia articles from books (published sources).

A lot of old books 📚 will not be scanned, and in the future will be needed.

I even reached out to the Ghana embassy in NYC, and to a friend in Ghana as to the best way to get books 📚 to Ghana. Still waiting.

I have a collection of children books, and easy reading books on various subjects. I decided that I can use USPS, and mail 8 pounds in two increments to the Permaculture Institute.

Take care.
