Since we are on the subject of the library--does the Museum pay for the mart ads in the MART for the mail bid auction of duplicates? Or, do the nawcc members "eat" the cost of the two full pages of the sale listings?

I am not sure if there is an invoice by the Association (as publisher of the MART) to NWCM for this listing. Probably not.

I also personally feel it would be inapropriate to have such an invoice, because the LARC silent auction of unneded books has traditionally been limited to NAWCC members only. So it is a "service" to NAWCC members, even as it also is a fundraiser for the Library Aquisition Fund. (The procedures prohibit spending the silent auction preceeds for Libraryt abd REsearch CEnter (LARC) operating expenses.)

Giving the members an exclusive right to participate in this auction is the LARCS way of saying "Thank you" to those people who ultimately provide most of our financial support.
