[ILL-L] Once upon a time in ILL...

[Carolyn Scheer]

Two of our recent loans to correctional 
facilities include a book on wilderness survival 
to a facility in Oregon, and the book "Forbidden 
knowledge :--101 things not everyone should know 
how to do" (including "how to break out of 
prison") to a prison in New Mexico.  We also love 
to tell about lending our book on 'building 
backyard catapults' to a Large Important Air Force Base.
