<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hmmmm....</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I could be wrong...but I don't think that wplug should even try lending books. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I suggest that books either be included in raffles (he hasn't attended a meeting in years, and he still thinks raffles continue???? :), or we could request that we trade services for books: Someone takes a book for keeps, but is scheduled to talk on some aspect of the book at a future meeting, within 4 months. This'll potentially guarantee speakers, as well as provide books to those who'll actually use them. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Well, planners, what do y'all think? Does anyone know of any</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>currently-existing, viable lending library schemes?</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>A lending library is a cool idea, but how can we be sure that people</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>puts one of their books in the library, and takes one out. But then</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>there is no way to be sure that they will get their book back in a</FONT>
