# Let students have an experience of meeting YAL authors.
This is a chance for students to talk to the fans and authors of their favorite YALs in real life, instead of in the virtual world in the book or behind the computer screen.
Let them experience another kind of conversation.
I have a wonderful and unforgettable experience meeting Laurie Halse Anderson in a bookstore, led by Dr. Young, in ECI 521.
Let the students experience my joy!

# Arrange a Book Sale & build a Book Corner in the classroom.
It is, of course, feasible and easy to build a book corner in the classroom by raising money from students' parents, who are very supportive for doing this kind of favor.
But, it might be a better idea to let students themselves raise the money for building the book corner, which might increase the value and significance in doing that.
Considering the fact that almost every students have old books at home (learned from the online interview), somewhere left on the shelf, untouched, which is a huge waste of resources, the teacher and parents could arrange a public Book Sale of these non-circulated books.
This is a good way to find a new owner of the valuable resources, kind of resource optimization, also a good way to involve parents in realizing the importance of reading.
The money earned from the sale can be used to purchase new books and build the book corner.
