Thank you! Hugs back to you and the rest of the volunteer group!
It took all weekend but I finally tamed the approval queue beast. I
still have 4 authors left to do (Stine, Metz, Farshtey, and Mackall)
who will be slow, since I need to look up series information about
their books, but there's no rush for them. There are a few books
where I have questions for the Bookshare librarian, too. And I still
need the okay to approve the books with "PUB PHIL tag" in their
titles. Each one of them is 6 pages long, containing notes about the
book in the title. They are part of a series called Philosopher's
Notes, which is I guess like Cliffnotes or Spark Notes.
Anyway I am overjoyed to have the approval queue down to a
manageable size. Whew! Next on the agenda is the rejection queue,
which I have been ignoring for far too long. My apologies for not
dealing with it sooner!

actually early this morning and again within a half an hour I got
the message that it had been aprooved and was being added to the
library. It seems almost like BKS might be using some sort of
automated software approval or something. It's hard for me to
imagine someone up at 2:00 AM aprooving books.
