Hello All,<br><br>Hoping all of you have electricity and have dug out!<br><br>If you have to ask yourself, " ... is this situation ethical or not..." it probably isn't BUT I am going to ask anyway.<br><br>We have implemented an Early Literacy Training Program for Adults and at the end of each session a parent has received a brand new age appropriate book. During our Book Camp (summer reading program) after a program a child has received a brand new book to take home. Grants and donations from both individuals and foundations have always provided the monies for the purchase of these books to give away. <br>
<br>This is the part that I am hung up on---GIVE AWAY---I have never used tax payers' monies (PLF) for the give aways, but what do the rest of you do for give-away books? Do you use PLF monies? Our local grant and foundation monies are harder and harder to come by these days. BUT, I want to make sure I am doing the right thing and if the rest of you are using PLF monies and have been audited then it must be okay. "Give Away"---tax payers' monies--it just sounds wrong in my head somehow.<br>
<br>I will look at ORC now, maybe it has something.<br><br>Thanks for your clarification!<br><br>Stay Warm,<br>Lauren<br><br>-- <br>Lauren Miller, Director<br>Athens County Public Libraries<br>95 West Washington Street<br>
