We could do an expanded version of the book program - increase the number of people we give books to and/or increase the book options. Would anyone like to propose books to send out? I think we gave books to about 10 people last time, we could make that 15 or 20 this time. Or give 2 books per person. We could also consider going beyond mere programming and also provide e.g. design/drawing books or similar.
