Abstract
"Although the benefits offered to library friends or regular donors are often
called ""perquisites"" (""perks"" for short), the term is troublesome when it
implies that the goods, services, or privileges offered in exchange for an
annual payment are justly due the donor. Managers of library friends groups
who view benefits as ""just deserts"" may not take advantage of their full
potential. Instead of wondering what a library benefactor deserves in exchange
for a contribution, we ought to look for the best use we can make of
an opportunity to give something to a regular donor. We need to ponder
how to make an advantage out of what is frequently viewed as an obligation."
