[LIBRARYDIR] [EXTERNAL] Re: Selling books

At TCC we've sold our discarded books for years, even before I arrived. We sell them to interested students and also on Amazon. The profits go into a revenue account for the library. We've always been supported by our admin in doing this.

Thanks Leslie. You’re right – there’s no law that says explicitly that we can, but I’m also thinking there’s no law that says we cannot.

Hi Amy,



I don’t believe there is a law that says we can sell library items.

Tammy Siebenberg and I (and another person) were working on getting a law enacted or clarity from the legislature or SBCTC.

I plan to continue that work this year if ok’d by LLC, but it won’t come in time to help with your plans.



If someone would like to work on this project, let’s get started!



Thanks, Leslie

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://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.leg.wa.gov%2FRCW%2Fdefault.aspx%3Fcite%3D28A.335.180&data=04%7C01%7Clpotter-henderson%40yvcc.edu%7Cd0c0d29050fb4c7f040208d952eec3f1%7Cf8b6a2d7036440ce943eeb02d6c35deb%7C1%7C0%7C637632007816510203%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=c9W0oErJDz1JinjHFg6NXI3fir%2BPHHptuW86s66UE%2FQ%3D&reserved=0> 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://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.leg.wa.gov%2Frcw%2Fdefault.aspx%3Fcite%3D43.19.1919&data=04%7C01%7Clpotter-henderson%40yvcc.edu%7Cd0c0d29050fb4c7f040208d952eec3f1%7Cf8b6a2d7036440ce943eeb02d6c35deb%7C1%7C0%7C637632007816520160%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=5pkmEkNlXOlNUXU5zU%2F6fd0CiOcyTD34mSS6NpwBSKI%3D&reserved=0> 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://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.panarchy.org%2Fdickens%2Fcircumlocution.html&data=04%7C01%7Clpotter-henderson%40yvcc.edu%7Cd0c0d29050fb4c7f040208d952eec3f1%7Cf8b6a2d7036440ce943eeb02d6c35deb%7C1%7C0%7C637632007816530114%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=EBBVUeeizVMc899%2BGDglKIyHuryjoeWYhoUA%2Fw%2BY5wQ%3D&reserved=0>.



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
