Josh -- desire to keep the library as a purely REference Library Christie -- 2 books are missing from the library Micheal -- brought books back and borrowed them.. Josh -- Multiple copies are fine to remove borrow for temporary times, "its odd to have someone walk off with a shared resource" Steen -- barcode/qcat isbn/ database would be fun to build

Steen -- ensure these things are true permanent donations
