(A) The Library Board may, by resolution, direct the sale and conveyance of any real estate owned by the Board or by the public library, which is not used for library purposes, or of any real estate so donated or devised to the Board or to the library upon such terms as the Board may deem best.
(B) Before any such sale is made the Library Board shall advertise the sale once each week for three consecutive weeks in a legal newspaper published or, if none is published, of general circulation in the city. The notice shall set out the time, place, terms, manner of sale, legal description of such real estate, and the right to reject any and all bids. If the bid or bids have not been rejected, then the real estate shall be sold to the highest bidder for cash, and the Chairperson of the Library Board, upon resolution of the Library Board directing him or her so to do, shall convey the real estate to the purchaser of such real estate upon his or her payment of his or her bid. If, within 30 days after the third publication of the notice, a remonstrance against the sale is signed by 30% of the registered voters of the city voting at the last regular city election and is filed with the City Council, the property shall not then, nor within one year thereafter, be sold. If the date for filing the remonstrance falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the signatures shall be collected within the 30-day period, but the filing shall be considered timely if filed or postmarked on or before the next business day.
