[ISLMA-Share] how damaged are books before you ask students to replace them?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

A book with the damaged you describe, I would have them pay for it. Pages
are missing, so although it's "readable" a patron would not be able to read
the whole book with pages missing.
