Thank you so much everyone for all your input on my question. I now have enough information to make an informed decision on how we are going to handle this situation. Your collective knowledge and experience is astounding! Becky From: Grai, Rebecca Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2021 9:56 AM To: michlib-l@lists.mcls.org Subject: donated books 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.
