Perhaps this idea might help with providing books for students who can't
afford them. Last year for our book fair, we had students who wanted to fill
out a "Wish List" slip, with the title and price of a book they wish they
could get, but didn't have the money for. Throughout the fair, I send out
emails with the latest wishes, and teachers loved to fulfill them! For the
most part, it's only kids who really can't afford them who fill out the
slips - about 50 total. I was amazed at how the teachers wanted to pitch in
for this, most anonymously. Many students were touched by the gifts, and we
were able to help out those who couldn't afford to buy from the fair. The
few that weren't granted, I was able to fill through the extra books the
library received from the fair (we just told the kids that it was an
anonymous gift). We are a high school - I can only imagine the enthusiasm
that wishes from elementary school kids would generate from the staff!
