The gift of handing a student a physical book in this age of increasing technological dependency is offering them an opportunity for cognitive growth that is difficult to achieve with lower socio-economic populations. Reading provides various experiences with people, places, and ideas that is MUCH cheaper than world class field trips. By providing books for students to borrow and take home, we are giving them the gift of experience. 'A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one." --George R.R. Martin
