It's never that specific down to a single title. More like, over the course of two weeks read: a Mo Willems book, a poem, a book about an animal, etc. Almost all can be done with books already at home, but there is an occasional specific author or topic that everyone might not have.

How many books do you have? We don't cover the range esp of nonfiction that reado does. And isn't the idea to be a book DC hasn't read?

To pp with tubs of book, did u buy at bookstore??

So in these early grades, we get weekly reading assignments, to read a book from a particular arthur, or read a non-fiction book or 3 on some specific topic. We don't usually have the particular types/arthurs they are looking for.

Do most families make a weekly trip to the library or bookstore to get all this asundry books? Or do you just fudge it and let your kid read something and check off the homework?

Let them read something else and say they've done their homework? Way to teach good study/honesty skills, OP.

But going to the library every week is hard, we are both working and have long commutes; I don't know why they can't get the books they need from school library, but they are limited to checking out 1 or 2 once a week.

So you go to library every week for homework?

OP, could you buy books? DS has a bookshelf full of books that we've bought at home - order them from Amazon and they'll come right to your door. Or let your child read books on a tablet -- same thing. Buy the e-book and download it. No need to go to the library.
