Re: book loss

[Vicki M Sherouse <sherouse@TENET.EDU>]

Fifteen years ago I got the money to put in a security system at a high
school from the students themselves.  I simply compiled my loss
statistics along with some anecdotal records--like I had bought 15 copies
of Poe's stories in 3 years and had only 1 copy left.  I talked to
student groups and got half the money donated from them--then I asked the
superintendent.  He was so impressed that the students cared enough that
he chipped in the rest from his discretionary funds.  Students do realize
what a problem stolen books are.
