5. Disposal
Libraries Tasmania may dispose of withdrawn library items and unwanted donations by any combination of the following methods:
- Resale via book sales or direct to booksellers
- Transfer to non-profit organisations for re-use by the community
- Transfer to charities for resale in their retail outlets
- Use in community outreach
- Offer to other libraries or institutions.
Where items have been identified as having no alternative use, environmentally sustainable practices such as recycling will be used for disposal.
In practice, any Heritage Collection item marked for disposal is likely to be in such poor condition that it would be unsuitable for sale.
