[Discussion Post] Do You Lend Books to Other People? Why? Why Not?
As a librarian, that is the million dollar question. I mean, obviously I do lend books… at work. However, when it comes to my private life, my position on the question is a little bit more ambivalent. Did you ever lend a book and never saw it again? Myabe it is just me, but I…

This is not something I will leave you with and let you think about, but rather a realization I would like to discuss with you. Have you ever felt “confident”?
