Good Monday morning! (I know--what an oxymoron, right?!) Anyway, does any library keep a record of donations, most specifically, who donated and for whom? I need to create a policy for receiving cash donations in memory of a deceased person. But, I'm pretty sure it is breaking privacy law but not 100% sure, so I thought I'd poll the masterminds on here to see what y'all do. Oh, and if you have a policy, will you send it along? Thanks! OK, now go have another cup of coffee/tea because I am going to as well.

To ask why we need libraries at all, when there is so much information available elsewhere, is about as sensible as asking if roadmaps are necessary now that there are so very many roads. ~
