Answers the question below and also: Our teachers would like to show some episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy, the educational series that airs on PBS, to their classes. Is it okay to record these programs? And if it is, how long are we allowed to keep the recordings? Must they be shown within a specific amount of time?

ALA Library This week's Ask-the-Librarian Question :)!
Source: wikis.ala.org
Q. Several patrons have come in wanting to donate books and magazines to our library. We cannot accept all of these donations, and they are not all appropriate for our Friend's group to sell. Do you have any other resources we can direct them to?


Angela at 2:58pm June 17
magazines that are not full of adult ads (Ntl geographic, discovery, Smithsonian, etc are often accepted at elementary schools and preschools for the kids to cut out pictures for projects, letters for letter recognition activities and such, if they are not too out of date some Nursing Homes will take them, doctors offices too. I would call first :)
