[ISLMA-Share] Book Donations for Start Up Library

Fri Jan 26 09:22:12 CST 2018

Our postmaster helped us mail books to Poland several years ago. All the
books were put in heavy canvas bags and shipped quite cheaply.  The school
supplies had to be shipped separately and were expensive to ship - but a
local Womens Club paid for that.

I believe it was called Air M bag. Here is a link to the website with
information.
