[quote=Anonymous]We are not "rich" but well-off enough to afford whatever books we want. Both of my kids love(d) getting books in the mail from the "book lady". During the pandemic, Dolly even read some and posted the videos to Youtube (they've since been removed). So many of their books have become our favorites. Sure, there are some duds, but by and large they are well chosen, age appropriate, and become loved in our house. And when we're done, we give them away. I agree that participating in activities that were set up to aid those who need it most is a good thing. It's a shared experience that my kids will have with kids from around the country (and world). In DC, I often see these books in the little free libraries (whereas I rarely see other kid books in them)--further helping to increase access to books for kids, including those whose parents don't sign them up. Sure, we have great libraries in DC. But I think there is something stabilizing for kids to have books at home that won't ever go away--and even better if it's the kid's favorite. I'll support that with my tax dollars and participation anytime.[/quote]
