PUBLIC LIBRARY
RECORDS DISPOSAL SCHEDULE
28-96
Municipal Government
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Secretary of the Commonwealth
William Francis Galvin
DS-28-96
PUBLIC LIBRARY DEPARTMENTS RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE
Information and Procedures
1. The following is a list of standard records that can be found in the
custody of municipal public library departments. This list includes
records and forms currently mandated for their use in carrying out
specific statutory responsibilities.
2. This schedule is arranged alphabetically by the title of the record
series.
3. Each disposal schedule has a schedule number and revision date in the
upper right-hand corner. The schedule number has two parts, the department
number and the schedule's year of origin.
4. Any records series title with an asterisk (*) may be destroyed without
the permission of the Supervisor of Public Records, following the
expiration of the specified retention period.
5. Each entry on the schedule includes: record series title; form
identification, if applicable; legal citation (including statutory
references to the Massachusetts General Laws); minimum period for which
the record must be maintained; whether or not the record must be retained
in hard copy format e.g., if the record cannot be microfilmed and
destroyed; and the series number.
6. If the phrase "settlement of levy" is used in the disposition section
of the disposal schedule, it designates the closure of all accounts for a
particular levy though payment, abatement, or taking of property for
taxes.
7. Before submitting disposal requests to the Supervisor, be sure that the
records are not subject to any current or pending litigation or public
records request, and that the prescribed retention period has fully
expired for each record to be destroyed.
8. Records created prior to 1870 cannot be destroyed.
9. To destroy records included on this disposal schedule, the public
library director should submit to the Supervisor of Public Records two
copies of a letter substantially in the form suggested here, indicating:
schedule number; date of last schedule revision; series number; estimated
volume; inclusive dates for each series to be destroyed; and the date of
the last audit or settlement of levy, if applicable. Where the disposal
period refers "Completion of satisfactory audit or final settlement of
levy" After termination," include these or other variable dates so that
the eligibility for destruction of the records in question may be checked.
The public library director should sign both copies of the letter. One
copy of this will be returned to the public library director with the
Supervisor's approval. Following receipt of this approval, all records
included in the written request may be legally destroyed, subject to any
conditions specified thereon. Any record may be retained beyond this time
at the discretion of the public library director.
Original records cannot be destroyed without the written permission of the
Supervisor of Public Records.
10. To destroy records that have been microfilmed and that are on the
disposal schedule, the public library director should submit to the
Supervisor of Public Records two copies of a letter substantially in the
form suggested here, indicating: schedule number; date of last schedule
revision; series number; estimated volume; inclusive dates for each series
to be destroyed; and the date of the last audit or settlement of levy, if
applicable. Where the disposal period refers to "Completion of levy, if
applicable. Where the disposal period refers to "Completion of
satisfactory audit or final settlement of levy" or "After termination,"
include these or other variable dates so that the eligibility for
destruction of the records in question may be checked.
The public library director should sign both copies of the letter. One
copy of this letter will be returned to the public library director with
the Supervisor's approval. Following receipt of this approval, all records
included in the written request may be legally destroyed, subject to any
conditions specified thereon. Any record may be retained beyond this time
at the discretion of the public library director.
11. To destroy records that are not included on this disposal schedule,
refer to the Administration/Personnel (23/89) records disposal schedules.
This schedule includes records held in common by various municipal
offices.
To destroy a record that is not presently included on this disposal
schedule or the Administration/Personnel (23/89) disposal schedule, submit
a letter in duplicate to the Supervisor of Public Records. The letter
should indicate: schedule number; date of last schedule revision; series
number; estimated volume; inclusive dates for each series to be destroyed;
and the date of the last audit or settlement of levy, if applicable. If
possible, attach a photocopy of the record.
12. If items subject to audit are dated with the current fiscal year and
have already been audited, they should be retained through the end of the
applicable fiscal year (June 30) or later, as necessary. If items subject
to audit are dated with the current calendar year and have already been
audited, they should be retained through the end of the applicable
calendar year (Dec. 31) or later, as necessary.
13. Disposal schedules apply to information, not the media containing the
information. If records maintained on electronic media (for example,
magnetic tape disk or optical data storage systems) are printed out in an
eye-readable format (paper or microfilm), the original electronic records
may be immediately destroyed. In this case a permission letter would not
need to be sent to the Supervisor of Public Records.
If the electronic record is the sole source of the information, it must be
treated in the same manner as its hard copy counterparts for the purposes
of disposal, and must be maintained in accordance with the disposal
schedule.
