Authority to Spend

The library director of the Newman Township Library is authorized to spend up to $100.00 on any single item without prior board approval. Board approval is needed for any amount over $100.00 for any single item.

The Newman Township Library may spend in excess of $10,000.00 only after completing the formal bid process as described in Illinois Law.

In case of extreme emergency, the library director of the Newman Township Library may spend amount as needed with the approval of any three-library board members so long as the amount does not exceed the threshold requiring a formal bidding process.
