[quote=Anonymous]This is all too true - my spouse is a librarian at one of those lower SES in DC. This year the library had NO budget - other than a $200 Office Depot card. Next year will be the same. My spouse gets quite creative - applying for grants, getting books from freecycle and doing book swaps, going to used book sales, etc. And we keep an Amazon list and friends & close family know that donations of books are welcome in place of a gift. (I explain only when asked for gift ideas.) I'm certain we spend over $500 a year on books alone for the school. The needs of some of these schools are overwhelming in so many areas. When you compare the resources available at schools in high SES areas to low ones the differences are amazing. I'm glad the Post wrote this article.[/quote]
