- Property valued above $200 dollars may be donated or sold to any other government agency operating in Taylor County or Kentucky.
- Books and non-print items withdrawn from the library’s collections on an ongoing basis and which have unit values of less than $200 dollars may be given to the Friends of the Library or to some other such philanthropic, educational, cultural, governmental, or other 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
- Computers and other technology items which have unit values of less than $200 dollars and are incapable of running current software and/or are incompatible with the library’s computer network may be disposed of using qualified computer recycling services or donated to philanthropic, educational, cultural, governmental, or other 501 (c) (3) not-for- profit organizations.
- All other items having a unit value of $200 dollars or less may be disposed of as determined by the Board in accordance with KRS 45A.425.
- In the case of surplus property valued in excess of $500 dollars, the board shall sell this property at public auction (including internet auction) or by sealed bids in accordance with KRS 45A.365. Sealed bids will be opened at the discretion of the board of trustees or the director. A sealed bid forms packet will be made available for interested parties to obtain at the Library’s front circulation desk.
- In the event that the library receives no bids for surplus property, such property may be disposed of in compliance with KRS 45A.425. Should the bids be deemed inadequate, a decision may be made to reject the bids and re-advertise the sale.
