What do other authorities do about donations from the public?
At Brighton & Hove we get a lot of people bringing in books which are just
not suitable, including out of date non-fiction and odd editions of quite
old fiction titles. It is considered to be bad press for us to refuse them
but they take a lot of staff time to process those we do want to add to
stock, and a lot more to dispose of those we don't want.
Any ideas would be most helpful.
Thanks.
