Hi, all, I've been following the threads about PQ books versus volunteer work.
I've enjoyed volunteering for Christian fiction and kids' stuff mostly and
because of page numbering issues, I've backed off considerably on what I
volunteer for. Every day for the past several weeks has been like Christmas
looking at and downloading all the new books lately. I'm very, very sad that
this new influx of books is starting to run some top knotch volunteers away
because of publishers' issues. I see both sides of the coin on these issues
but wish all you fantastic volunteers would find a reason to stay at bookshare.
I like books from a Pentecostal Christian standpoint as far as
Christian/nonfiction goes, and I love all kinds of Christian fiction, classics,
and general fiction as well as kids' stuff. Some of the volunteers who've said
they are most likely leaving bookshare are ones who print some of these kinds
of books. I know there are so very many books out there in the world, and I do
wish we could all find a niche and grow bookshare and everybody can feel like
useful and contributing members of bookshare and society. I had no idea this
wonderful growth spurt for bookshare would run off volunteers and this is a
bittersweet pill to swallow and makes me feel very, very sad. Please folks
reconsider before quitting the wonderful job you're all doing on adding books
to the collection. Lori and Mike in particular, thanks to you, I've got some
Jentezen Franklin books I'd not otherwise have, and this makes me sad to see
you and others go. Thanks and have a blessed day.
