Re: SHARE: Books as gifts for teachers

[Diane H <daichan@ISLANDNET.COM>]

A couple of months ago we had a local bookstore set up a display with
preselected books for sale at one of the PAC (Parent Advisory Council)
meetings.  We had a number of very good books donated to our library.  Next
school year we are going to do the same thing except at a parent-teacher
night so all the parents will have an opportunity to buy books for the
library.
