Do not tempt me, library!

I am my department's Library Liaison. What that means, practically speaking, is I ask my colleagues for titles of books the library needs to order (we get about $500-$600 a year to spend). The library sends us these little cards (those who are librarians may be familiar - the ALA does them, they are called "CHOICE"). Or maybe they don't any more; I haven't received any recently.

I'm bad about distributing the cards; the person who used to do it (who is no longer here) would sort them by discipline and put the appropriate ones in each person's mailbox. (I'm more prone to stick the stack in the office and say "have at it").

Going through an old batch (we have some money left over and I am without inspiration as to what the library needs, but the money must be encumbered by Friday and giving back university budget money is never a good idea). The first card? "Textile Preparation and Dyeing."

I totally cannot justify ordering it. But it made me laugh when it tumbled out of the stack. (I think I'm going to have them order a couple of "policy" books - we are weak on that section.)
