Under your scenario why wouldn't this become a year round event? 2. Merge it with the library's collection so that a student (parent) could order any book in the library's collection from local bookstore 3. The library is already a curated list but then have the school librarian (if there is one otherwise the teachers) pick titles (curate) specific categories. Then this also works in reverse for Hickbee's since you suggest they have 'rudimentary' lists. The 'curation' by the library, teachers and then the students(parents) that purchase the titles becomes valuable to Hickbees because they get better more robust reading lists curated by real readers. 1.
