Paula, Beverly[and all Educators and Librarians]: Read your emails and wanted to chime in. We are currently in the process of updating the BookCrossing site to highlight a section called "Educators and Librarians". While we have had some focus around this in the past, I am pushing hard to bring this updated offering front and center for our members that qualify. Stay tuned but we will be announcing something soon! best, Scott CEO BookCrossing
