I wanted to check with you whether it's ok - I can remove that part if you prefer.
I am not really sure whether that question might bring something useful, but since this topic has been mentioned a few times, getting some input from the community seemed like a reasonable step.
I meant to write "one of your chat messages" (plural) - sorry for the typo.
@epic_math Honestly, I had a professor for two courses as an undergrad, who handed out books on Halloween!
She'd spend $300-$400 on books, and ask students to donate a favorite book from their childhood, appropriate for various ages, and if she had any left-overs, she'd donate them to school libraries!
