Good morning! There's a Autumn-like feeling out here today. Sorry summer, your days are numbered!

We are a small academic library and recently  had a patron donate 100+ books and is requesting a receipt for tax purposes. They are business and leadership books-mostly pretty old, a few classics, and few newer. I have a couple of questions regarding the issuing of a receipt:
- -What amount should we consider issuing for these books--an amount for all the books donated, or only the ones we are keeping?  We are only keeping about a dozen of the donated books.
-Any ideas on what we should do with the remaining books?
-Anything else I should consider that I have not asked about?

Thanks.

Becky
