ABC News: Laura Bush Gala Aims to Restock Libraries: "First lady Laura Bush hopes to send 5 million books to the schools and libraries in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama with the help of donations at her weekend book festival.
'No doubt, many books were destroyed by the rain and flood waters,' she said at a gala Friday night for donors to the $1.5 million festival. 'Family Bibles, scrapbooks, children's books that were cherished by parents and children alike.'
Saturday's fifth annual National Book Festival, which Bush organized with the Library of Congress, included readings and book signings by nearly 80 American authors."
