Library property (i.e., print and non-print materials, equipment,
supplies, and/or any personal property) which in the judgment of
the Library Director is no longer necessary or useful for library
purposes, may be disposed of in the following manner:
| 1. |
Books and non-print
materials from the library’s collection, or gift materials,
may be discarded, sold, or, upon the approval of the Board of
Library Trustees, be given to local philanthropic, educational,
cultural, government, or other not-for-profit organizations. |
| 2. |
Any other personal property
having an individual current value of less than $100 may, at
the discretion of the Library Director, be discarded, turned
in on new equipment, or made available for sale. |
| 3. |
In the case of individual
surplus items having current value of more than $100 but less
than $1,000, the Board may authorize a trade-in of such items
on new equipment or sale of such items in accordance with the
provisions of the Illinois Library Act. |
| 4. |
No favoritism shall
be shown to members of the Board of Library Trustees or members
of their immediate families who make bids on or purchase any
library item declared surplus. |
| 5. |
Any personal property
having a unit value of more than $1,000 but less than $2,500
will be displayed at the Library and a public notice of its
availability, the date, and terms of the proposed sale shall
be posted. |
