Does anyone have a Gift Policy that just says NO?
We're finding that we get more and more calls from people who generously
want to give us their libraries, and these gifts have less and less
value for us as we move to e-books and try to clear space for people
instead of stacks. We're considering posting a No Gifts policy with the
unspoken caveat that a politically connected gift could always be made
an exception, but I'm wondering if there might be unforeseen consequences.
Can anyone share a written policy and/or experiences, pro or con?
