Re: [LM_NET] Overdue Book Ideas Great But

["Betty Winslow, BGCA" <bgcalib@WCNET.ORG>]

In that case, I think I'd do a report about the cost of replacing lost books
and the fact that overdue books are not available to other students, thus
reducing the usefulness of the library to the student body, and I'd send a
copy of it home to each family. Don't know how much it would help, but it
would make me feel better! <grin>
