Since I wad returning an item due today, I took the opportunity to donate two CDs to the library. I donated a John Mellencamp CD (no Cougar, so it must have been relatively recent) and a CD by a band called Red House Painters. Two things struck me. 1. Why did I have a John Mellencamp CD? 2. What one-hit wonder did I like by the Red House Painters? When the library get a donated CD, they do one of two things. Either they add the CD to their collection at a branch, or they sell it to raise money for the library. I imagine the latter is what they do most often. I wonder how they decide.
An addendum to today's giving: Two pre-teen girls in my neighborhood came around this evening selling "bracelets" for a dollar each. I'm quite sure their parents didn't know they were ringing doorbells at 9:45 p.m., but I purchased a tri-color bracelet made of three braided strings. It's not even a bracelet really. It's just string. Is this a donation? Maybe.
