No library funds (govt. appropriated funds, fine/copy/fee receipts, monetary gifts to library, etc.) are to be used to fund employee gifts or expressions of condolences. Funds for such purposes may be raised by employee contributions, specific Friends group contributions, or by specific contributions from businesses or individuals. Such purchases may be funded either on an ad hoc basis or via the establishment and maintenance of a “sunshine” fund.
