[mail] RE: [Publib] Need your library card?

[Dusty Gres]

It would be interesting sometime to pass on to certain authors: Stephen
King, Maya Angelou, T.D. Jakes, and anyone Oprah has ever had on her TV
show, for instance, that their books are consistently stolen from public
libraries - or at least this public library.  Does that add a certain,
cachet, to "best-seller"?

It may be apocryphal, but I vaguely remember that when I was in library
school at Drexel, the Library Science portion of the collection was reputed
to have the highest 'shrinkage' rate.  Talk about bad karma!

I hope its ok that I lurk and post on this forum although not a public
librarian...I find that we share many of the same concerns.

 

Dusty, I feel your pain.  I work in a theological library where things still
disappear.  How can people steal from a church? Even if they aren't
believers, that's got to at least be bad karma on them!
