[Bookstoprisoners] book donation

[Niloofar Shambayati]

Danielle and btp volunteers,

We haven't been diligent enough about these details over the summer.  Danielle, thanks for making us more conscious of this chaotic situation.  I'll take care of it.  I have actually made such signs for our other drop-off sights and will make one for IMC as well.

 I'd like to ask all of our volunteers to help us keep our donation sites as "professional looking" as possible.    If  you frequent these locations, please make sure that there are enough brochures nearby, the signs are legible,  and the bins are clean and not overflown.  Thanks.

  I noticed the bins were not there, but plain unmarked cardboard boxes instead.  I would suggest a sign on the wall above the bins (friendly and decent looking if possible) that explains B2P and the donation bin.

    Hi Danielle, 

    Thanks for letting me know. All we can do is to empty the bin more frequently.  We have encountered similar problems with other locations as well and have come to accept the loss of some potentially good books---c'est la vie.

      hi niloofar,

      i notice some folks taking books from the front of the post office when they are in an unmarked bin.  the other day a woman asked me if "other things were free in addition to the books" - she didn't even question whether the books were free.

        Thanks for your generous offer.  I can meet you in front of the IMC/Urbana post office at 1:00 p.m. and direct you to the other side of the building where you can park your car .   I might be able to find couple of other people to help us carry the boxes to the basement.  Please let me know whether this would work for you or not.  I look forward to meeting you.

        Niloofar
