We are changing our procedures regarding the form called "Letter of Gift -- Gifts in Kind" so that these are given out only by me. If you are in charge of a Service Desk, please recycle any copies of that form that you may have.
Our simplified instructions for staff regarding gift materials are:
- Please refer all questions about possible donations of materials to me.
- If a patron comes to a service desk with a * small number * of items to donate:
1. You may accept the gift, and pass it on to me.
2. Please do not give them a Letter of Gift Form; if they wish one at that time they must speak to me first. If I am not available, they can leave the materials along with their contact information and I will contact them regarding paperwork.
3. Please do not promise that the materials will be added to the collection. Please do not promise that if materials are NOT added to the collection, they will be returned to them. Materials left with the Library are disposed of in a manner that best benefits the Library.
- If a patron comes to a service desk with more than a box of materials, please tell them you cannot accept them and try to reach me so that I can evaluate the offered materials.
