Who are you: Community of the Department of Philosophy at Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania.

What do you want: our own reading room.

How are you going to get it: by collecting 10 000 LTL.

How does it function: we’ve made a bet with the Rector of our University Prof. Zigmas Lydeka. We collect 10 000 LTL for books – University opens a Philosophy Reading Room.

How much time do you have: till the New Year.

What happens if you fail: First of all, it won’t happen.:) However, if for some reason we do not fulfil our part of the bet on time, the donated money, whatever the amount we have in our hands, we will still spend on the books we need. It’s just that they, as all the others, will go to the depository of the university library. Still better than nothing.

What is my role: we need 100 people to donate 100 LTL each. That is 100 people to donate 28.96 EUR, 43.34 USD, 26.08 GBP, or 43.76 Swiss Francs each. Or 200 people to donate half of that… Simple.

What’s in it for me: much and little – maybe, just maybe, there will be just a few more intelligent and happy people in Lithuania. And another little thing – we will showcase the names of all the donors in the new Reading Room. Purely out of gratitude.
