current project to show off, a favorite pattern to share, or any questions or
difficulties with a current project.

HELPING THE LIBRARY ONE SEARCH AT A TIME!
Supporters of the Bradford County Library are using
GoodSearch and GoodShop, raising money with every search of the Internet and
every purchase on-line!
What if even a fraction of the $20 billion generated by
search engine advertisers* and online shopping was directed towards County
Library?
That is the concept behind GoodSearch.com a new search
engine powered by Yahoo! GoodSearch
donates 50% of its revenue, approximately a penny per search, to the charities
designated by its users. You use it
exactly as you would any other search engine and the pennies add up quickly –
just 500 people searching four times a day will earn around $7,300 in a year. It doesn’t cost the users a thing!
Similarly with GoodShop.com, consumers are helping their
favorite causes by shopping at hundreds of well known retailers including Amazon,
Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others. The shopping
experience and the prices are exactly the same as going to the retailer
directly, but by going through GoodShop, up to 37% of the purchase price is donated
the user’s favorite cause!
The Bradford County Library recently registered with the
site, giving its supporters a chance to raise money for the cause every time
they search the Internet or shop online.
The goal is to earn money through the site this year which will be used toward
the Bradford County Library’s expansion project.
More than 60,000 nonprofits and schools are now registered
with GoodSearch and GoodShop and more than 100 charities and schools are
registering daily. GoodSearch has
quickly spread via word-of-mouth and the blogger community. Examples of other organizations listed on the
site include: The Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation which has earned more than $8,000; The ASPCA which has raised more
than $14,000; and The Bubel/Aiken Foundation which supports children with
disabilities and has earned more than $8,000.
