Continuation of Operations Policy
Policy & Procedure Manual Updated 11/29/23
Library Meeting Spaces Use
If your community group wishes to use a Library space, please read the Meeting Space Room Use Policy policy, fill out the Meeting Room Form, and bring it in, or scan and email to jrichard@sals.edu. Proof of insurance liability coverage is required. Completion of the form with documentation does not guarantee approval of request.
Fine Free
Libraries are for everyone and we want all members of the community to use the resources we offer. This will clear the slate and hopefully encourage past patrons to return.
Studies show that fines do not incentivize people to return items and people are actually less likely to return items that are way overdue for fear of being charged.
Fines collected make up less than 1% of the Library’s overall budget. We are able to make this change without raising taxes.
