While it might not be a great copy (and would have to suffice until the work is rereleased), remember that it is legal under Section 108 to create a replacement copy if your library copy is stolen, lost, damaged, etc. if an unused copy is not available at a reasonable price. I read that to mean that an unused copy is not being marketed or readily available for sale. Your library may want to go beyond just checking the marketplace and try to contact the copyright holder to see if a replacement copy is available. Either way, you should be able to replace your current copy (either with one you can purchase, or by making a copy). If you transfer to a DVD, 108 states that the copy cannot be circulated to the public outside of the library. That, too, has been understood in different ways by different libraries, and you'll want to internally decide what that means for your library and how you will comply.

Rallying the other women, she proposes they impose an embargo on sexual relations with their men as long as the war lasts. This "sex strike," reluctantly agreed to and not always enthusiastically observed, finally brings the men to their knees.
