An article written by and for librarians; but so, so applicable to SCA regalia ministers: The Myth of the Free Gift.

I am a library volunteer. I can attest to the presence of many "kittens", but we just sell most of them to whomever comes up with 2 bucks. (It is our policy to trash old coputer books and textbooks.) Sale is this weekend: we have a lot of nearly new fiction, and some interesting non fiction for sale.

A few weeks ago, a co-worker, believing she was doing me a favor, unloaded three bankers' boxes full of art supplies on me. I took it all home and stood over the garbage can testing dried out markers and fossilized paint tubes for about half an hour. I netted three pads of art paper, a couple picture frames and a mat cutter, but most of it had to be thrown out.

We used to get that at StonedMountain, too. Someone would be cleaning out mom/auntie/grandma's sewing stuff and would come in and offer it to us, just to get rid of them.

and this is why...

"we can't have nice things"?

No, but it is why Crosston doesn't officially own anything...

Yep...Periodically SCA trailers need to be parked with someone with both a good personal knowledge of organizational history and a strong culling instinct.
