Policies

Code of Conduct
Because the Library functions under U.S. law as a limited public forum, and as a public place is open to all who would visit and make use of it, it is necessary that it establish rules that govern proper and reasonable use and behavior, and to balance the rights of the users against those of the individual user.  Included is a link to the Unattended Child Policy.

Collection Development Policy
This policy is established by the Library Board of Control to further public understanding of the purpose and nature of the library’s collection and to provide guidance and direction to the library staff for the development and maintenance of the Library’s collection. Included is a link to the Request for Reconsideration of Library Materials form.

This policy defines the level of assistance library staff can give patrons in using the public computers. This policy further protects patron privacy and disclaims library liability.
