[quote=Anonymous]Couple of thoughts having worked in a pretty under-resourced library. -Think twice before just doing a book drive for all the excess your child has. Most libraries with their limited staffing cannot process them and don't need 20 copies of Harry Potter. -Money is huge. It allows libraries to buy books with better binding, prepared with labeling and bar coding and shelf ready. -Ask your member of the City Council to ask why this is not a line item in the school budgets. Ward 3 schools do better because of the book drives/fairs they have but really honestly an annual allocation of $1,000 is not unreasonable. -At some level do appreciate that DCPS is coming clean on an issue a lot of school districts sweep under the rug.
