Women of the Texas Library Association are showing some skin — at least the parts they've tattooed — in a calendar for 2010. Proceeds from sales of the calendar, called the "Tattooed Ladies of TLA," will help pay for repairs to libraries damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:

Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer.

It's MORNING EDITION.
