PUBLIC LIBRARY <br /> Records Retention and Disposition Schedule <br /> The records retention and disposition schedule and retention governing the records series listed <br /> herein are hereby approved. In accordance with the provision of Chapters 121 and 132 of the <br /> General Statutes of North Carolina, it is agreed that the records do not and will not have further use or <br /> value for official business, research, or reference purposes after the respective retention periods <br /> specified herein and are authorized to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the agency or <br /> official having custody of them without further reference to or approval of either party to this <br /> agreement. However, records subject to audit or those legally required for ongoing official <br /> proceedings must be retained until released from such audits or official proceedings, <br /> notwithstanding the instructions of this schedule. <br /> This local government agency and the Department of Cultural Resources agree that certain records <br /> series have minimal administrative, reference, or historical value. When the custodian of any official <br /> public records certifies to the Department of Cultural Resources that such records have no further <br /> use or value for official and administrative purposes and when the Department certifies that such <br /> records appear to have no further use or value for research or reference, then such records may be <br /> destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the agency having custody of them. This local government <br /> agency agrees to establish and enforce internal policies that will specify how long those records must <br /> be retained, and when they must be destroyed. <br /> It is further agreed that these records may not be destroyed prior to the time periods stated; <br /> however, for sufficient reason they may be retained for longer periods. This schedule is to remain in <br /> effect from the date of approval until it is reviewed and updated. <br /> APPROVAL RECOMMENDED <br /> L 1 / .ILO!J <br /> Library Director David Brook,Director <br /> Division of I Iistorical Resources <br /> APPROVED <br /> ,tn <br /> Chairman,Library Board of Trustees A.
