Well... maybe it is just your library. I have returned a few books that needed attention, but they weren't because of me, and I usually let them know that when I return them. I have one here, where the glue on the spine has worn out and therefore the spine came off the book, it is a bit hard to scan and keep the spine in tact, but this was an inter library loan and the library will be able to fix it. I am including a note though. I also donate books to the library and usually my books do come out even if I don't press too hard on them. But... yep, I feel pretty guilty sometimes. I had to return This Heart of Mine by bertrice Small without scanning it, as the pages were falling out, they had been when I borrowed the book. They know I care for the books and love them, smile, I have been a patron there for well, since middle school so that is over ten years. I do also donate funds for the new books funds and also paperback and hardcover for their book sales. And I am working on a volunteer project creating curriculum materials for their children's library. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
