Re: It doesn't take money

["Anderson, Julie LHS-STAFF" <AndersonJ@ISSAQUAH.WEDNET.EDU>]

I have HS kids ask me if they can "rent" this book all the time. I think
it's because they are used to going to the video store and renting a video,
which (of course), they have to pay for. The HS kids know that checking out
a library book doesn't cost them anything, but they still use the word
"rent."

Live like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no one's watching.

1st
grade class and one girl brought 50 cents with her for the library!
