[Libs-Or] Craft Night at the library

[Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney]

Usually when folks suggest something like this, I say that I don't want to create the impression that people are obligated to pay for our services, and even if it says "donation" on the can it can make folks uncomfortable if they can't afford it. Instead, if I have opening announcements I say something about the Friends sponsorship of the program (they sponsor almost all of our programs) and that if folks enjoy it the Friends welcome donations of time or money.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Craft Night at the library

Hi everyone,

Our library hosts a no cost Craft Night for adults. They are held once a month. A patron asked if she could donate $$ and of course we answered yes. She then said we should have a donation can out each month and say that donations are accepted. I do not want to do this at all. Does anyone have a well worded response? Or do other libraries have experience with donations for programs?
