Especially true with students! They want to read what someone else wanted to read. 🤗

Books on a cart of recently returned materials are twice as appealing as books on a shelf. Because while publishers waste time on blurbs and jacket design, what really sells a book is the idea that some random stranger recently had it and may or may not have enjoyed it.

The library is the largest classroom in a school. School librarians are teachers. #TexLeg please revise SB No3 to include school librarians.
