Fred, I just finished revising the chapter on library policy for the revised edition of the booklet HOW TO ORGANIZE A JEWISH LIBRARY. I checked several libraries policies. A few of them, in their policy for accepting book donation (used or new) mention that the librarian's advance approval is appreciated. We asked for a list, but, could not turn down boxes that landed at our door. I recommend it for every library. For more suggestion please see AJL wiki on our website. Amalia.
