Our district superintendant is retiring this year and for his party I have
been asked to come up with an appropriate book, poem, or reading to share
with those in attendance.  I am at a total loss.  Any suggestions?  TIA

I don't know if this falls into the category of petty whining (maybe my
servant heart is tired this time of year?), but I have wondered how the rest
of you handle this:

Since I'm the "book lady," I guess I'm also the resident expert on book
repair. Now that school's out is when teachers come in with their mangled
books asking if I "have any ideas for how to fix this" or if I "have some tape
that will work" to repair the books.  I hate to lend out my good tapes that
will either be entirely used up or not returned at all, but I don't have the
time to take care of all of these books.  (These are "stitch in time" type
jobs, not the major disasters that require complete rebinding.)

I've thought about asking the principal to use textbook money to spring for a
variety of repair items for textbooks only and then give teachers the chance
to use those materials for their repairs (or maybe say that there will be one
day when I'm availble to do the repairs myself).

What do you think?  I want to be helpful, but I'm not sure that I should
consider textbook repair part of my job.  BTW, I'm the entire media and
technology "department" -- no other adult aides or volunteers.

Thanks!
