The Chelsea Green publishing company has announced an innovative new program help connect libraries to their communities. The new Library Gift Registry Program works just like a wedding gift registry. Registered libraries create an online "wish list" from the company's catalog of green and sustainable living titles, and patrons or friends of the library can donate those books for 40% off the retail price, and receive free shipping on their order. Once a wish list is created, users can visit the library's registry page online to make their donations. Libraries can register for the Gift Registry service on the Chelsea Green website,
