He has come to the Library wearing a t-shirt with rock band logos and jeans on two separate occasions seeking a meeting with the children’s librarian. He has been pushy and didn’t take no for an answer the first time. He carries children’s books in a plastic bag and tries to sell them to children’s librarians. Today, I was able to obtain his information and he gave me order forms with a company name, address, and phone number listed on them. When we checked with the Better Business Bureau, there was not a listing for the company. Googling the company only comes up with a directory type of page. We called the number on the order form and stated that a rep from their company had stopped in but after consideration, we’ve decided not to order from them. The receptionist said that she’d give our message to “Jack”. He also stopped by one of our branch libraries this afternoon.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Officer Vastano suspects that this may not be a legitimate company or maybe someone trying to start up a small business using books purchased from a wholesaler. The prices on the price sheet do not reflect a discount. Mr. Lynn mentioned that he was intending to connect with other Ohio libraries and even asked for directions to Findlay’s library.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please be aware that this individual may contact your children’s librarian(s) and you should proceed with caution when dealing with him.
