Sounds to me that the phone call wasn't official...and bordered on the fringes of legality, as "hubby" was not in an official place to make the call. Other than that...either post it at the library...or they send you an official notice on office letterhead. "Hubby" is not the librarian...and could easily be brought up on some by-law infraction.

But that leads to drama.

If anything, put in a suggestion for a magazine/catalog exchange program at the library. People bring them in...others borrow or sort through them...and after 2 weeks...they go into the recycle bin.

If they keep complaining...then they either post an official policy on donated magazines, or STFU.
