Thanks Robert! I remember those days and those books. We were working hard
and fast getting those books in there! At the time Jesse was the collection
administrator and put them all into Adult Content. Remember? Then Gustavo
came on board and changed that.

Hold For
I do in one respect, what do the members like outside of education. While it
is good we are getting the text books and the big grant, what do members
like to read? I did a lot of gay and lesbian books in the beginning because
some people wanted a place to go to and we prided ourselves on having books
that orther media types didn't want to do.
