I also use popular adult fiction that we happen to have in our collection and some of my favorites like All the Light You Cannot See or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

I think we could ‘gift’ a book to a teacher or student and include a bookmark and treats, but I’m not sure how to see if it would get read or if I should share non-library books.  Any inventive suggestions?
