In case you're interested here's a little information about the Wisconsin Public Library System:
Wisconsin has a large and expansive library system comprising of seventeen public library systems with nearly 400 public libraries. According to the Campaign for Wisconsin Libraries, "Wisconsin public libraries serve a total state population of 5.6 million and in the past 10 years, library visits have grown by 28 percent."
Please note that my pledge is “per commenter”—so if a single person leaves 50 comments, that still only counts once! But you can do more by spreading the word … please link to this post, tweet about it, and send your friends here so they can comment and raise more money. If you’re moved to make a flat-fee donation to your library, or to start your own challenge, please take a moment to do so. Every bit counts!

We love our library too! This is such a great idea!
I love our library! I would be broke without it!
I love seeing people support the library. I am about to graduate with my master's degree in library and information science to become a librarian. I graduate in the summer!
Thanks for doing this! I take my daughter to the library for story time every week and can't wait for her to get her very own card. Libraries are essential to promote community, education, resources and more.
Great idea. My girls and I love going to the library.
Fantastic! The library rocks! I hope you get a lot of comments!
What a fun idea! I hope you get your 100 commenters and that your library gets the funds they need! Good luck! :-)
BRIMFUL COMMENT
Library-loving?
Well, what's not to love?
That is a topic
I'll gladly write of.
Thanks for participating!

I agree with LutherLiz. That's why I never complain about having to pay a fine for overdue books, etc.
This is such a great idea! I'm so glad Jenn passed the idea around. I know the libraries that benefit will appreciate the extra funds. Thanks for participating. :)

How awesome! We also go to the library *at least* once a week for kids books and sometimes for me ;)
Happy children at the library - I love it!
Libraries!
I am delighted to help contribute to Wisconsin libraries!
Wonderful idea! I hope you get all 100 comments!
Good Luck! We visit our public library frequently.
What an awesome idea. I need to check with my library. It is my favorite place to take my grand-daughter. She gets so excited when she knows we are going.
Hooray for libraries!

What a great idea to raise funds for your library. We also love going to the library and attend story time. Life would not be nearly so wonderful without the library!
Thanks for participating in the challenge!

Wonderful idea, Ma'am! We don't get there nearly often enough =( BUT, how about I do half as much as you? For your 100 comments, I will donate $25 to the local library--in YOUR name, Darling!!!! Just let me know when I should drop it off b/c I KNOW you'll get the 100!!!
Libraries are such a great resource, especially for small communities. I loved introducing our grandson to ours a couple of years ago!
Good luck with your challenge! Yay for libraries!
Libraries are my second home. I'm happy to comment and am inspired by your donation. Yay!!

What a wonderful idea! We haven't used the library as much since we moved here as it's not as user friendly, but we use to practically live at our old library. :)
I love libraries!
Good luck :)
Yay for libraries. Thank you for doing this :)!
Yay, libraries! I'm participating at my blog, too:

Awesome challenge! Glad my comment could help a library :)
Yay libraries! Thank you for your support.
That's so cool that you donated a tag reader to the library. I bet the kids love it! I donate a lot of my review books to the library.
Thanks so much for do this on behalf of libraries. We all love you!
Thanks for supporting libraries!
Thanks for showing your support to libraries! This is such a great challenge, it's inspiring to see so many people take part :)
Lots of library love! The Texas Sweethearts are participating in the challenge as well: http://texassweethearts.blogspot.com/2010/03/library-loving-blog-challenge.html
Every town, no matter how small, should have a library.
Good luck!

Hi library-loving blogger! I wish my library was bigger so it could hold more books!
Here's my challenge:

Libraries are awsome, thanks for supporting them.
Thank for your geneosity to your library and for the great blogpost about my book, I AM A BACKHOE. What clever art project!

What a mitzvah!
What a great idea. I love our public library too.
All this library love makes me happy! Good luck!
Yay for libraries (and yay for generous people like you!)
Thanks so much for doing this! Reading always needs a boost.
Very original idea! Your library is lucky to have supporters like you.
I couldn’t live without libraries.
I'm participating in the library blog challenge, though I've gotten a bit of a late start:

We love our library too, this is such a great idea :0)
Libraries are the seeding ground for book lovers of the future. Thanks for all you do to encourage a love of books Janelle. My grandson loves his weekly visits to pick out books.

What a neat idea, Janelle! Thank you for doing this and sharing your idea!
We could not survive without our library!
Looks like a great library and they must be so happy to have you support them. Thanks for stopping by my challenge too.
Hey - so great to meet you here! hugs - Janet
I've used my local libraries so much I don't know how I could be a working writer without one! All the best with your challenge.
I'm doing a challenge too:
Great job! Thanks for posting.
Hurray for libraries!
I am definitely a lover of my library! There is no way I could share books on so many different things with my daughter. My budget would not allow it. But the library makes it all possible. Good luck to your library and their expansion project.
Wowzer! Another lover of libraries. Thanks for taking on the challenge.
Thanks for supporting a library.
Wonderful idea - love this:) I do love my local library!
I am loving all of these challanges up around the book blogging community! Absolutely wonderful!
I LOVE our library! I always have - I cried when I was little and I had a fine, and gave my 'tooth fairy money' to the librarian to make up for it. I rave about the library all the time on my blog; I wish I'd seen this sooner or I would have participated and spread the word for you :(
Sometimes I read a book and listen to one at the same time. I sure would hate to get along without my library.
Thanks for contributing! Libraries = awesome.
We love the library -go 3 times a week! My girls actually ask can we go 2 the library over stores :) Libraries ROCK
good for you!
Delighted to be of some use :)
