I'm a U of Illinois GSLIS student (woo!) and I've drummed up an idea about using trained volunteers to find the kinds of high interest/low reading level books desperately needed in some underserved schools by checking thrift stores and garage sales. Has something like this already been done? Friends of mine in Teach for America began teaching with no books in their classrooms, and I find lots of great books at thrift stores. I'm hoping there could be a beautiful relationship built of this.
