I agree with the necessity of doing an annual inventory. And since you have no security system, you need an inventory all the more. The figures can prove that a security system would be paid for in a very few years because of cutting down on book loss. The year before we got our security system, we were losing 300+ books. The first year after we got it, our book loss was 25! On Mon, 7 Nov 1994, Anna Watkins wrote: > I do an inventory because we have no security system and LOTS of > materials walk every year.
