Ah, I knew it! This time I knew better than to raise my hopes when the
announcement came about the hiring of John Glass. Instead of doing
handstands, I held off because I knew there was a catch. Gustavo, who
should be there approving books, has been "let out", thus delaying this very
important job for a month? "Till mid-May?" Gotcha!!!

May?). Then contact Mr. John Glass and ask him to add this suggestion to
the list of things that are important to the Volunteers. (Others have
suggested having the ability to "gift" their extra credits to new users.
And, others have asked about pooling large amounts of credits and offering
to financially challenged schools.)

so he can try to regain his sanity. The approval process for books will
remain "as is" until he returns. As he hands off chores to Jennifer and
John, the approval process will pick up again.

> Hi Janice, I sent a querry to Gerald earlier regarding life-time
membership in BookShare. At the time I was jesting, but it seems to me that
this subject should be broached at some level. Those of us that comtribute
more than the required number of books each year than is necessary to
maintain our membership should find some sort ofreward at some level for our
work. Maybe bragging rights or something. Tom Hawkins
