Please Read:
The Library has grown so large that now we are having to pay for space on the web. If you would like to make a donation to help keep the Library open, go to Paypal and send money to: ceryndip@juno.com. In the space for comments please write that the money is for the upkeep of the Iolausian Library. We are paying $12 per month for our new space and services (no ads and no more exceeding our data transfer quota! Yay!) We also have our own domain now and access to other kewl behind the scenes stuff that will make running the Library easier. Your support is greatly appreciated and we thank you very, very much. If you have any trouble with Paypal or you need to donate another way (we do accept personal checks.) email me at: ceryndip@juno.com and we'll work something out.
