 * Diana, in the bin there is the Biography list of books we chatted about on Friday. Please look through to pay attention to the "NOS" Not on Shelf. If they are lost, note on page, "LOST". If the copyright is within three- five years, note "Replace". Pay attention to how many other books we have on that person and the copyright years to see if repurchasing is necessary. - Looked through the Biography books marked "NOS" and "lost." Made notes, and also pulled Biography books that need new spine labels. Will go through the list again on Friday to recommend whether or not to repurchase newer biographies. (drp)
