Hi Paula,
Although you can provide the donor with a receipt, it cannot have any value
attached to it. If he thinks the materials are worth at least $5,000, he
will need to get a formal appraisal from a book dealer.
The following is from USC Libraries' Donor FAQ which can be found near the
bottom at http://www.usc.edu/libraries/about/donor/index.php
IRS regulations prohibit all non-profit institutions, including USC, from
placing a
value on donated materials to the donor. The Libraries' Gifts Liaison can
usually
provide a list of licensed appraisers with expertise in the nature of the
donated
materials. In addition, you can get a list of reputable appraisers through
the
Society of American Appraisers, the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of
America, auction galleries, and individual rare book dealers. Useful insight
on
whether or not an appraisal may be worthwhile is to be found on the web site
for
Your Old Books (http://www.rbms.info/yob.shtml).
Our donor receipt form is at the same web page.
Hope this helps.
Amy Ciccone

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Donations and Tax Deductible
Hi,
I have someone who is interested in donating a ton of books to our library
and he was curious if he would be able to get a tax deductible receipt for
his donation.
Does anyone have a tax deductible form that I may use as a template for our
museum library to give to him and others who would like to donate books in
the future?
