[Michlib-l] Donation policy

[ConnieJo Ozinga]

Our Friends no longer accept encyclopedias or Readers Digest Condensed
Books.  Our regular sorters do a quick check for smell and condition and
these days a lot of stuff goes straight to recycling.  Goodwill recently
informed us they are no taking longer book donations.  Good luck.  Connie
