Library Policy
The public library environment should be conducive for all patrons to pursue their educational needs and their personal enjoyment. All patrons are expected to conduct themselves in such a way that the rights and privileges of others are not violated. This behavior is to be followed both in the library buildings and on the premises of the thirteen branch libraries of the Northwestern Regional Library.
The public library is a public building. In the interest of child safety the Northwestern Regional Library has established an Appropriate Behavior Policy and hereby sets forth the attached policy for its member branch libraries.
