Oh, wow! Will it be another 167 book day? I think I recall hearing that some
people had trouble with getting the list, but I still remember that day -
although I don't remember the exact date. But I do recall that it felt a
little like Christmas.
I think she said something about not doing any more of those 100-plus book
days, though, so maybe it will be a couple of 99 book days. <grin>

Yes, we're trying to hire another Claire-type person (and another
Carrie-type person), so the approval queue won't get so big. Claire and I
moved our office to the downstairs Benetech office (just rented) last
Thursday and Friday, and Claire got behind in her approval queue handling.
I'm sure she'll deal with it Monday.

On another topic, I do notice the admin queue has been a bit large of
late. I do hope that the new funding includes some provision for more
than one person to be in charge of moving books from admin to the
general collection.
