EDIT: by the way. Does anyone remember the name of any of those school programs? I've been searching with no luck whatsoever. It wasn't BookMobile, those were loans (though we had that, too). The one I remember had a "catalog" and an order-form that had check-boxes you checked beside the books you wanted. The day those stacks of bundled-up books showed up on the teachers desk were some the best days I remember from elementary school. I was never so happy as when I was lugging those things home after school (back when "book bags" were still day-packs for hikers)!

We had the free Weekly Reader. It did offer a catalog of sale books for the teacher or it could have had some listed in each issue. It was a looong time ago.
