[AMS-announce] ANNOUNCEMENT: Donate your unwanted academic books to programs in Asia

[Announcements for the AMS]

Wanted: Your books, for faculty and students in China 

Bridge to Asia, the largest such program in the PRC where it sends 500,000 books per year to more than 500 universities, seeks donations of used and new books and journals in all academic fields and professional practices. Thanks to the generosity of its donors, in recent years the program has provided more than half of the foreign language materials acquired by Chinese universities overall, but needs continue to outstrip resources, and even the premier schools lack adequate collections.
