In addition,Jane Dolan is going to contact Goodwin, Proctor& Hoar to see <br /> whether they can help with resolving issues and questions raised that have to be dealt with. During the discussion,the <br /> following issues questions were mentioned: <br /> 0 Donator should sign some type of document stating they are relinquishing all rights to the Library/to the <br /> Trustees/to Foundation/to whom? <br /> 0 How is value of items determined? <br /> Secur*ty and liability issues have to be considered when holding/displaying items at the Library.
