A lot of our books go to Better world books, we have someone who sorts through them to see if BWB wants them i belivev he enters in the isbn #. On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 8:16 AM, ConnieJo Ozinga via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
Our Friends no longer accept encyclopedias or Readers Digest Condensed Books. Our regular sorters do a quick check for smell and condition and these days a lot of stuff goes straight to recycling. Goodwill recently informed us they are no taking longer book donations. Good luck. Connie

Hi, I'm interested in hearing what policies libraries have regarding donations (if any). We receive an almost unmanageable amount of donations, and I'm hoping to find a way to cut the tide, without simply refusing to take them. Do you impose limitations on the age, quality, or relevance of items? Quantity? If you have limitations, do you recommend other nearby places that may be interested in taking the donations instead? Thanks for any info you can give me!
