Gothic Romance Lending Library Question

Such libraries throw the books out or sell them if they are beyond their useful life, they don't have shelf room for them, or the books are not checked out often enough. There is no reverence or guarantee that the library would remain intact. Some such libraries don't allow the books to be checked out, which would defeat the GRLL's purpose. I'll pass your idea on to Gothic Journal, however.

Yes, shelf room is the issue. My Uni library (one of the biggest in the country) has just put a whole lot of books into storage, which caused a big kerfuffle. I suppose the only viable option is to try to digitise them....big job I imagine.
