Hello! In recent months, I've received at least six requests that the
library hold various community drives for needed items. For example, a
book drive for an African library project, cell phones for domestic
violence victims, cat food for the Humane Society, etc. 

 

We're lucky to be *the* community center, and I'd like to entertain
these requests if possible. Does anyone do this?  Reasons why or why not
this is a good idea? 

 

Anyone have a policy covering this? I'm thinking of connecting it to our
public display case, which people can reserve for a two week period. 

 

Thanks for your help!
