I explained that these books were now ours and were available for check-out. They were very pleased. I heard comments like, "I love these books" and "Can you believe these are our books?" The best comment, however, belongs to one of my aides who told me the books were "bittersweet" for him. When I asked why, he explained that, while he loved the books, he had to reshelf them! Thanks so much for making such a positive event in these students' lives possible."
