[LM_NET] Follow up to Fun reading activity for high school students

[Jacqueline Henry <JHenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

I have discovered another perk of the activity.  Several kids from other
classes are coming in and seeing the piles of books on the table.  They
are curious about what's going on in the library.  When I explained the
"Speed dating for books" concept - the universal response has been
"Cool!!  I wish we could do that".  So - I plan to market the idea to
the rest of the English teachers.
