Hi Carrie!

I just wanted to thank you for answering my questions whenever I have e-mailed 
you. And thanks also for purchasing and processing the bestsellers so quickly 
so we can read them along with friends and family.

Blessings.

Lynnsky

  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!

  Carrie

I checked in another book late last night or 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.
