But when it comes to figuring out what to buy for a school library, the correct gift is refreshingly refresh-ingly apparent. The Parent-Teacher-Student Organization was in the lucky holiday situation of buying for the Park City High School library when it organized the "Book for the Library" holiday gift program. The PTSO sent letters and order forms to the homes of high school students stu-dents asking for $20 donations for books. After a family sent in the money, the student was allowed to do the honors hon-ors and actually present the gift to the school librarian, Anita Booher. Booher e-mailed the PTSO organizers organiz-ers a list of books that the library needed need-ed or students had requested, the PTSO purchased and wrapped the books (including a card with the name of the donors), and students then were called to the high school office to pick up and present the books to the library. Amongst the 20 new books that were purchased by parents were several Harry Potter books, "The Green Mile," "Beck: A Life Less Ordinary," a college guidebook, and many others. Not every book purchased cost the full $20.
