Yo, Ron,
As I said in my previous email. We would love to have it. I will do my best to maintain a library for the entire industry! We work closely with the Illinois Fire Service Institute at the University of Illinois and they are interested in building a premier fire sciences library and have offered the Fire Sprinkler Industry space within. We would also keep most items here at the Academy for students. I have set aside a room for just such a collection (my dream space). I am also interested in maintaining a "testing library". Where people can rent a book or two for the National Exams. Leave a credit card number and we'll send along a book or two for your next testing date. Return the books and you'd get your deposit back, minus a small fee for the service. Don't return the books and you'll pay full price for them plus a large fee for the service. Anybody interested in having something like that available?
