Some libraries have their policies posted online, such as http://libweb.uoregon.edu/colldev/cdpolicies/gift.html , http://www.hsl.unc.edu/AboutLib/collections/donating.cfm#value , and http://library.udayton.edu/basics/policies/giftbooks.php .
I've seen websites that advise the donor to consult with an accountant, a tax expert, or a lawyer. None say that the librarian should make the appraisal.
