    Folks,
    People must think I have a lot of time on my hands to be posting so many
    messages to the list, and I do because it's Friday before Spring break.

    Also, this way when someone puts in keywords IAMSLIC and junkyard, they will
    get a hit.

    Got a call from an auto reclamation business - a junkyard. They found one
    of our books in the back of a car they were going to demolish and they plan
    to return the book, still in good shape. Says they get 40 or so library
    books a year.

    So, now we know were some lost books go. Not exactly like solving where the
    missing sox went after doing the laundry quandary, but was very nice to hear
    even junkyard employees have respect for library books.
