<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>worked through the AK Press book order. If we didn’t get a book you </p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal">wanted, don’t fret – we weren’t ignoring you! We took into consideration </p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal">several factors including the following: </p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.75in;"><span><span>1.<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>We prioritized sections that were lacking (Indigenous, Psychology, Sex, Queer, etc)</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.75in;"><span><span>2.<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>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).</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.75in;"><span><span>3.<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>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.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.75in;"><span><span>4.<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>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.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.75in;"><span><span>5.<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>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!</p>
