So far, no one has even blinked. Most comment on the fact its still a lot cheaper than having to buy a particular book. And we've been able to keep all other services free, except for late fees, and hope to always keep them free.

We had the option to charge or not charge. In the South Texas Library System, only 25 percent charge a fee.

We don't collect the fee from students at the elementary, junior high or high school. We feel like it isn't their choice what they've been assigned in school. And if we don't have enough information to do a report, that is our responsibility and not theirs.

Fremantle has no comment on this.

One can't even comment on them.

There is no separation between Carol and Carol's Linens. They are one and the same.
