https://www.cbsnews.com/news/librarian-faces-backlash-for-rejecting-book-donation-from-melania-trump/

quote:

A librarian at the Cambridgeport Elementary School in Massachusetts is facing backlash for declining a shipment of books from first lady Melania Trump.....

.... Cambridge Public Schools says the librarian's editorial letter represented her opinions and was not an official statement on behalf of the school district.

The district says it has "counseled" Soeiro on its policies. It says her letter "was not a formal acceptance or rejection of donated books."

I mean like, donor/gift policies are a thing, right? And I didn't just make that one up out of thin air...

Yeah but you just don't do that to ANY donor.

And even if they're dupes, most libraries gladly accept copy 2s.

Sometimes libraries will avoid this kind of drama by quietly disposing of donated materials at a later date, sometimes going as far as covering all identifying marks, handwritten notes and barcodes with a sharpie before throwing them in a locked confidential paper bin

That's just called the Better World Books dropoff

Actually the OED is one of the very few subscription-worthy online reference resources that libraries still get access to!
