Disposal of Surplus Materials Policy

    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 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 $200 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 $200 or more, the Library 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, Library Staff or members of their immediate families who make bids on or purchase any library item declared surplus.
