All library employees are encouraged to be library patrons and users. However, whenever using the library as an individual or for personal purpose, each employee shall abide by the same rules and regulations that apply to the public. Library personnel should set the standard rather than expect the exception.

Non-circulating or items waiting to be processed may not be taken from buildings without the approval of the Division Directors for Adult or Youth Services. All items that are being used for personal purposes should be properly checked out. Photocopy fees, fax fees, and other charges for personal use shall be paid.

Library personnel may reserve library resources for personal checkout, but should not use knowledge of library operations to give themselves an advantage of access to new or popular materials.
