Re: GEN: Damaged Book Tale

[Suby Wallace <swallace@NIC.CRSC.K12.AR.US>]

I used to work at the public library in a branch in Memphis.  Not only did
wehave a book on dog training that was chewed up, we had a title about "How
to get control of your time and your life" that was ALWAYS late, and a book
on agoraphobia that a lady had reserved.  I called her and called her but
she never came to pick it up!
