Actually, I do take books in lieu of lost items, or even fines. But it has to be something we can use, in good shape and suitable for circulation. I get extra copies of the Twilight series, books by P.C. Cast and Meg Cabot, etc, but I reserve the right to choose what we take and what it's worth to us.

Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things." -Douglas Adams >>> "Thomas, Kim" <Kim.Thomas@USD453.ORG> 5/21/2009 9:35 am >>> Something I've puzzled over this year that just now makes sense in light of comments in this thread: Numerous high-school students, when faced with a possibly lost book, have asked if they could "trade" one of their personal books from home for the title that was lost. That was a new one on me, but now I'm wondering if it ties in with patronage of those business that allow gamers to trade in used video games on new ones. "Oh, the times, they are a-changin'. . ."
