Libraries
Libraries often choose books by the application of a collection development policy designed to meet the needs of a particular user community. When libraries accept the products of a vanity press, they may require the donor to sign a form giving to the library the right to do what it pleases with the items, including disposing of them or redonating them.

Famous quotes containing the word libraries:
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
“riding flatcars to Fresno,
Across the whole country
Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
And the factories they make rubbers in”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
