[LIBRARYDIR] Selling books

[Amy Kelly]

Hi all,

I know we have discussed this before, but I am having a heckuva time finding the state statutes that govern selling state resources. I've got 28A.335.180<https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28A.335.180> that says we need to notify school districts via widely circulated newspaper before we declare that our book are surplus; and 43.19.1919<https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=43.19.1919> which seems to say that we can sell stuff and put the money back into whatever fund paid for it (although there is a note about the 28A rule). Dickens nailed it when he wrote about the Circumlocution Office<https://www.panarchy.org/dickens/circumlocution.html>.

We are doing a major weed, and I would love to have a book sale. Or, I would like to donate the books to our foundation, and then have a book sale. I am going to run it by our VPI and legal department, but if anyone has more to add, I'd be grateful.

Cheers,
Amy
