Comment: I found that the upper level (grades 10-12) selections could be very advanced (kinda dry?) or contain content I would not care for my children to read. But I found plenty of selections in the grades 4-6 and grades 7-9 categories that were great, even for high schoolers. We got many, many of these books from our local library; from the county, state, and national level via interlibrary loan. All you need is a little lead time to give them time to trickle in from all over.

I’ve checked into setting up an “International Night”–very similar to what you are talking about except I’d thought it would be just a one time event. Maybe I’ll have to revisit this idea.

I’d love for someone to start a monthly country themed night for families. We could taste some foods from that country, hear a speaker who is from there or who has visited there, learn some other things about the country, do a craft, perhaps, and pray for that country. If several families worked together it would not be hard to do. I just don’t have time to coordinate it, or I would. I could help, though! If anyone knows of something like this already happening, I’d love to hear about it.
