[Charlug] Re: CharLUG Library

Not sure we can do either, as they were given to us by O'Reilly. I tend 
to try and find homes for them with other LUGs or User groups, or 
non-LUG co-workers.

Since we don't have a legal and official club, with member IDs, not sure 
  how CPCC could track who all could check them out.
