Project Inkslinger
Project Inkslinger was founded in 1993, when the Mississippi and its tributaries flooded parts of the Midwest and South. Several schools and libraries in Kansas and Iowa, for example, lost their entire collections to water damage. Mensans across the country worked together to gather books to replenish those collections in need.
Since then, the project has been expanded to encourage local Mensa groups to provide books and other reading material to any local public or school library in need as well as supporting tutoring programs and specialized programs. Donated books bear the Project Inkslinger bookplate with Mensa logo.
If you are interested in helping get books to people who need them, contact SEMM’s Project Inkslinger Coordinator, Deanna Oliver.
