ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 17, 2014 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 6 -d <br />SUBJECT: Authorization to Transfer Certain Property to Another Public Entitv <br />DEPARTMENT: Library <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Lucinda Munger, 919 - 245 -2528 <br />1 <br />PURPOSE: To transfer ownership of withdrawn library books from the collections to the Friends <br />of Orange County Public Libraries, a local non - profit. <br />BACKGROUND: Orange County Libraries strives to provide collections that are up to date, <br />popular and of relevant interest. As library books and materials are damaged, out of date, <br />contain information that is no longer relevant, or are no longer being used by the public, these <br />materials are pulled from the collection and withdrawn to keep the collection relevant and useful <br />to the residents of Orange County. <br />North Carolina General Statute 160A -280 allows Orange County to donate to a local non - profit <br />with Board approval. Following the authorized transfer, the Friends of the Library can resell <br />these items. The Friends of the Library will use proceeds to support activities and programs at <br />the libraries. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the transfer of the materials. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the transfer <br />going forward of those library materials pulled and withdrawn for donation to the Friends of the <br />Library. <br />
