		<description>Hi Kellie,

I really hope that you grab that internship - what a great opportunity.  

Good luck on the virgin hunting for the sacrifices - if I run across any I&#039;ll send &#039;em right over ;-)

		<description>Stupidly forgot to say last week, Thanks for the info! I&#039;m a bit leery of LibraryCrossing as a paid service, but having them on the Twitter feed is still helpful. Thanks for the recommendation.

There&#039;s an internship at my closest school that would be ideal: paid internship (25 hrs/wk during school year; 40 hrs/wk in summer), plus 9 credits of classes paid per semester, plus benefits (including health insurance). Tthere&#039;s only 1 spot, and it comes up only once every 3 years, so I&#039;ll be spending the next couple of months busting ass on applications and sacrificing a lot of virgins.

Thanks again, George. Hope you&#039;re well.

		<description>Meryl,

Hehe.  That&#039;s how I always feel too!

Most libraries will have a mending department.  Wasilla is a fairly small public library and since I AM the mending department I see about 30 circulating items a week that need some TLC.  About 50% of the repairs are similar to the one here.

The criteria for repair is essentially cost (my time) versus the book value.  Some just get so ratty that the amount of repairs needed to make the book reasonable to circulate just are not worth it.  We have a great Director and her philosophy is to replace them rather than have yukky books circulating in her library.

		<description>Yay! I am happy the book is OK and recovering well from surgery. :) I always thought libraries would put the damaged books in the &quot;For sale&quot; pile and sell them at the Friends book sale. Do they repair a lot of them -- or does it depend on the book and its availability? Or there are no rules?

		<description>That&#039;s so sweet, George! I&#039;m not sure if it can be fixed, though - I used lots of tape. :-(
