    My mother was a reading teacher. She bought all the books her kids read each year. She’d hand them out. The kids would keep them for a few weeks, and usually return them.

    Every year I would schlep several boxes of her books, between home and her classroom. 30 copies of this. 40 copies of that. Maybe a couple dozen titles. I personally would’ve appreciated it, if the school bought the books, so I didn’t have to carry them all twice a year.
