             UPDATE!! : Megan, Nathan, and Ramey got together on  
Tuesday night and

  worked through the AK Press book order. If we didn’t get a book you

wanted, don’t fret – we weren’t ignoring you! We took into consideration

several factors including the following:



1.     We prioritized sections that were lacking (Indigenous,  
Psychology, Sex, Queer, etc)

2.     We made sure that AK Press was the best place to buy them (ie,  
they weren’t way cheaper on Amazon, or they were difficult to find  
elsewhere).

3.     We had a lot of requests for Gardening/Vegan books, but we got  
a last-minute donation on Monday evening of books in these sections.

4.     We also had a lot of requests for books that had similar  
subject matter to books we already have – not to say these books  
should be excluded, but we thought it best to get books in this order  
that were unique.

5.     IF you requested books that we didn’t order, don’t fret – we  
didn’t get rid of the lists! We will compile them all in to one BIG  
WISHLIST to be discussed at the next meeting, when we talk about what  
to do with the rest of the benefit money!
