(75 ILCS 16/30-55.32)
    Sec. 30-55.32. Sale or disposition of property.
    (a) When the board has determined to sell or otherwise dispose of real or personal property that it deems no longer necessary or useful for library purposes, the property may be sold or disposed of at a public sale as follows:
        (1) Personal property of any value may be donated or sold to any other tax supported
    
library or to any library system operating under the provisions of the Illinois Library System Act under terms or conditions determined by the board.
        (2) Personal property having a unit value of $1,000 or less may be disposed of as
    
determined by the board.
        (3) Personal property having a unit value of more than $1,000 but less than $2,500 may
    
be displayed at the library, and a public notice of its availability and the date and the terms of the proposed sale shall be posted.
        (4) In all other cases, except as provided in subsection (b), the board shall publish
    
notice of the availability and location of the real or personal property and the date and terms of the proposed sale, giving the notice once each week for 2 successive weeks. The notice shall be published in one or more newspapers published within the district or, if there is no such newspaper, then at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the district and published in the county that contains all or the larger portion of the district.
        (5) On the day of the sale, the board shall proceed with the sale and may sell the
    
property for a price determined by the board or to the highest bidder. Where the board deems the bids inadequate, it may reject the bids and re-advertise the sale.
    (b) If the board has determined that any building or buildings that were received from a municipality due to the conversion of a tax supported public library to a public library district under this Act or a prior law are no longer necessary or useful for library purposes, the board by resolution may authorize the sale of the building or buildings and the underlying land to the municipality from which they were received. The value of the property shall be determined by a written MAI certified appraisal that shall be available for public inspection. The resolution shall be published at the first opportunity following passage in a newspaper published in the municipality or, if there is none, in a newspaper published in the county in which the municipality lies and that has general circulation in the municipality. The board may accept any contract proposal for the sale of the property to the municipality determined by them to be in the best interest of the district by a vote of three-fourths of the board members then holding office, but in no event at a price less than 80% of the appraised value.
