 Subject:      RE: Donations policies for periodicals?

Because of copyright, we accept issues that will fill in the ones we have
missing.  When accepting them, we let the donor know that we will accept
them with the understanding that we will add only if needed to fill in
and that we can dispose of them however we wish - discard or place on a
sale table for patrons whichever we feel is best.  We use this policy
with any and all donations.
