A patron donated several DVDs and CDs that had been distributed and have a label indicating that "Item is for promotional use only, sale or other transfer is prohibited, must be returned on demand of the recording company." Can we add this type of material, or is it destined for our booksale? Becky Tatar Periodicals/Audiovisuals Aurora Public Library 101 S.
