Surplus Property Policy

Library Board approved July 16, 2002.

  1. LIBRARY MATERIALS

Library materials not longer useful for Oak Park Public Library purposes are routinely withdrawn.  At the discretion of the Executive Director such cancelled withdrawn library materials may be given to other tax supported or not-for-profit educational or charitable institutions including the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library.  Otherwise said materials shall be destroyed.  In all cases, the Oak Park Public Library ownership marks shall be cancelled.

  1. OTHER SURPLUS PROPERTY

Any other personal property having an individual current value of less than $500 may, at the discretion of the Executive Director, be discarded, given to other tax supported or not-for-profit educational or charitable institutions including the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library, or made available for sale to the public.

Any other personal property having an individual current value of more than $500 or any real property shall be sold only with Board authorization and in accordance with the Illinois Library Act.
