At last month's executive meeting after much discussion again
about overdue, damaged and lost library books, there was serious
consideration being given to getting rid of the library - auctioning
it off:

However, I pointed out that there would be no libraries left in
the world if the “overdue problem" influenced other library boards
similarly. Also, the fact that we have one of the most comprehensive
collections on ceramics in theprovince should not be overlooked.

It is discouraging to have beautiful books that are much in
demand, languishing out of circulation in borrowers’ homes for months
on end (1 1/2 years in one case). We know that the more overdue books
are, the more likely they are to go missing -- permanently.

It is difficult to remember to return library books especially
when you might not attend every guild meeting. Therefore, some
practical suggestions:- If you happen to remember your books a few
days before the meeting, put them where you're likely to see them and
on the day of the meeting set your car keys (or purse) on top of these
books 50 you won't leave home without them.

Mark "books" on your calendar where you have your reminder about
the guild meeting.

If you know you won't be going to the next meeting, ask someone
who is, to take your books back for you.
