PURCHASING POLICY

The Library District will endeavor to obtain the greatest value for every tax dollar expended. Staff will compare prices through quotes and bids in order to purchase at the lowest price goods and services that meet the specifications and requirements set by the Library and that are in compliance with state statutes and federal guidelines. The Library will encourage the submission of proposals from local vendors but, in order to get maximum value, will not limit our purchases to local vendors.

All purchases over $2,500 must be reviewed and approved by the Library Executive Director or his/her designee.

Major capital projects must be approved by the Board of Trustees.
