donated books
by Grai, Rebecca 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Good morning! There's a Autumn-like feeling out here today. Sorry summer, your days are numbered! We are a small academic library and recently had a patron donate 100+ books and is requesting a receipt for tax purposes. They are business and leadership books-mostly pretty old, a few classics, and few newer. I have a couple of questions regarding the issuing of a receipt: - -What amount should we consider issuing for these books--an amount for all the books donated, or only the ones we are keeping? We are only keeping about a dozen of the donated books. -Any ideas on what we should do with the remaining books? -Anything else I should consider that I have not asked about? Thanks.

In a constantly changing landscape, this leader strives to ensure that all Oregonians have the information they need to be engaged citizens and to build strong communities and a prosperous state. The State Library is an independent state agency governed by a nine-member State Library Board appointed by the Governor. The State Library consists of four divisions: Government Information & Library Services, Library Support & Development Services, Talking Book & Braille Library and Operations, operating on a biennial budget of approximately $17 million with 38.47 FTE. The State Library has one of the best volunteer programs in state government made up of talented individuals that donate their time to help assist us to achieve the mission and goals of the agency. The State Librarian acts as the appointing authority to direct all activities of the State Library by setting, evaluating and administering policy, program priorities, and the use of resources as determined by the State Library Board. The State Librarian provides vision and support to the approximately 1,650 public, school, community college, university, special, and tribal libraries in Oregon and to the State Library staff. Appointed by the Governor and subject to Senate confirmation, the State Librarian represents the Agency in its work with the Governor's Office.

The many breweries, wineries, distilleries and restaurants in the area provide an array of dining options to enjoy. Responsibilities: Serve as the Agency Director and Chief Administrative Officer that provides guidance and assistance to the Library Management Team and represents the Library in dealings with the heads of other state and local agencies and organizations and the Legislative Assembly.

The successful candidate will lead and inspire a committed team, promoting excellence in service and demonstrating experience in working with elected and appointed officials; possessing knowledge of library trends, issues, and best practices; managing multiple funding streams, and managing personnel. Key traits include strong collaboration skills, proven advocacy skills, and the ability to communicate eloquently the purpose, goals, outcomes, and benefits served and provided by libraries to diverse communities, stakeholder groups, and key policymakers.
