[LIBRARYDIR] [!!Mass Mail]Re: wondering about a Better World (Books)...

[Vivienne Mcclendon]

My staff agree with the AG ruling mentioned.  They are under the impression we can dispose of books in any way we choose.  They are searching for correspondence regarding this ruling. Seems that periodically campuses have a change in leadership and new administration may need to be reminded of our ability to classify old books as "waste".

On our campus, weeded books are sent on campus to be shredded and recycled for the most part.  However we have a history of offering BWB a small selection of the more desirable titles.

When I have more details I will share.

We were told the same thing here at Clover Park.

Our Business Office says that we can't sell (or give away) discarded library books - they are state property and must follow the surplus property laws.

Our college's business manager is curious about third-party book sales in other academic libraries here in the state.  Do any of you use BWB or a similar service?  What has been your experience, if so...?


Thanks -
