McCord Recycles Empty Inkjet
Cartridges
Most of us have inkjet printers at home or at work. Next
time you have an empty cartridge, don’t throw it away –
bring it into McCord! Just put it in a Ziploc bag or the
original box and drop it into the recyclable box in the
lobby.
McCord Library then boxes the empty cartridges up and sends
them off to a recycling center for cash. This benefits
everyone: the environment with less pollution and energy
waste, the library with money to buy more resources for the
community and the community by supporting their library.
McCord Memorial Library Annual Appeal
As the days speed by in a figurative and literal flurry,
McCord’s Annual Appeal continues full force, thanks to the
continued generous support of the community. We are
extremely grateful for the vast amount of support we’ve had
to this point, and look forward to the continuation of that
support from the community. Please keep in mind all that
McCord has done and continues to do for the community and
any donation will be very much appreciated.
Book Sale Donations
There is a large donation box in the lobby by the elevator
where patrons can donate items to McCord. If we are not able
to use the items to fill gaps in our collection we will put
them out for our book sales, which earn money to be used by
the library, or donate them to prisons, schools, VA
organizations, other libraries or even other countries.
Most importantly we like to receive current titles in
excellent condition (poor condition items do not stand up to
processing and circulation). Here are a few samples of items
we love to receive:
Current and former bestsellers, both nonfiction and fiction
Hardback classics and fiction paperbacks
Children’s titles
Historical materials related to North East or Erie County
Unabridged autorecordings, both nonfiction and fiction
Feature films from the last year (with covers in good shape)
and CDs of popular works
Items we can’t use (in our collection or the booksale) are:
Textbooks and encyclopedias (older than 10yrs)
Back issues or runs of magazines
Condensed books and dated nonfiction
Matching Gifts
Many employers, including GE, National Fuel and Verizon will
match on a dollar-for-dollar basis, effectively doubling
your gift to McCord! So please ask your employers if they
participate in such a program.
