[Lavalibrary] tonight's meeting notes

[gabby at stealthisemail.com]

heya folks, something to think about:

the infoshop in lawrence, ks had a really interesting system for checking
out/ returning library books.  they had two return days a month: the first
of the month and the 15th of the month.  and you could pick either one as
your due datw to bring books back.

it made things really easy when it came to making calls to our delinquent
friends who hadn't returned on time.  it worked really really well.

something to think about for lava?

hope all is well...
