Hi ladies:
I am having a problem with a bookshare volunteer.  If you know this person, 
please don't mention it to them.  
So there is this volunteer for bookshare who lives in my area.  they live maybe 
15 minutes away.  they have these very ambitious ideas about what they want 
scanned for bookshare and they  would send me boxes of books to scan.  they 
also gave me books they wanted back. So the drill would be I'd scan them, send 
the books back to the person, and they would proof them.  The problem is this: 
they would send me so many to scan there was a massive backlog.  So like half 
of my library was this person's books.  Now that I am moving, I want to give 
the books back to this person.  I have offered to pay their aid to come and 
pick them up.  We're talking two *huge* boxes of books.  they have to weigh 
thirty to forty pounds each.  So I have offered to pay the aid.  I can't send 
the books myself since I am low on cash now.  I have emailed this person 
multiple times  and tried to call on several occasions.  They wrote back to me 
once, saying they were in denial I was moving.  But they keep dodging and 
screening my calls and not answering my emails.  I don't know what to do with 
these books, since they are not mine.  I don't know WTF is going on with this 
person but I'm absolutely furious here.
Thoughts?
