pack or no-pack..that is the question
by Loretta Sherfield 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Hi all: We are contemplating going no-pack. Seems business is booming and we're constantly out of envelopes! So, we'd like some information from you, the people who use it. What are the pros/cons of being no-pack or pack? Do you often have damaged items as a result of being no-pack? Are lack of envelopes a problem for you if you are a pack library? Do you purchase your own envelopes? I will tally the responses and share them in case there are any libraries also thinking of changing. Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Loretta -- Loretta Sherfield Branch District Library Interlibrary Loan Department

According to GoodReads<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34964998-when-they-call-you-a-terrorist>, this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable."
