Some of the people borrowing the books are pretty harsh with them. Also the publisher knows many aren't returned or will be damaged, so the library will probably be repurchasing the popular books.<br /><br />Electronic stories of course wouldn't fall apart, but they would want to make about the same ErinPaperbackstashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879655467410960166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-90226654956054124782012-11-21T14:38:34.036-06:002012-11-21T14:38:34.036-06:00The picture reminds me off the weirdest thing I...The picture reminds me off the weirdest thing I've heard from a flight attendant.
