[Libs-Or] OLA Legislative day is coming up and we would like a few more book donations

[Jane Corry]

Nan, our lobbyist says that we are very popular with the legislators. We
have a table full of books that legislators can choose to donate to their
local library.
The wonderful Katie Anderson just weeded the books that we have and she
suggested the following:

They are selecting a book that will have their name it and that will be
publically accessible so they are going to be pretty careful. They are
definitely looking for books in new or like new condition. They are most
likely looking for a book…

·         They know and love

·         By an author they know is popular

·         They can evaluate in a minute or two just by flipping through it

·         They know is about a topic popular with kids, parents, and/or
teachers



As I was weeding, I kept asking myself, “Would a government official choose
this book to put their name on and give it as a gift to a public
institution?”


We need about 20 more books. Contact me about donating. ( Or You can attend
and bring them then)


Jane
