<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">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:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">- -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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">-Any ideas on what we should do with the remaining books?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">-Anything else I should consider that I have not asked about?</span></p>
