The difference between promotion and selling is very distinct. I promote
something to make people aware of it, I sell them something to part them
from their cash.
More succinctly, in this case, I sell them something on someone else's
behalf using my hard earned and historic reputation as a tradable asset to
part unsuspecting users from their cash.
But if the independent and impartial public library endorses it, it must be
OK!

Subject: Re: Library books get insert adverts
Yes - and talking of donating kidneys - there may be an advert for Blood
Donation or the like. I feel that adverts will have to be sensitive and
'appropriate' Anyway, library staff have to put inserts in these days
already - to promote libraries! Bookmarks often carry a sponsor....another
advert.

I work in a public library on local government wages. What is this
'pride' of which you speak?
