Public Library Polices for the 21st Century

To be presented on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. with Cheryl Becker, SCLS presenting.

Have you taken a good look at your library’s policies lately? Do they seem to be from a different era? Are you encountering new circumstances that your existing policies don’t address? Do you find yourself thinking “they didn’t teach me how to handle this in library school!”? Then maybe it’s time to make sure your policies are well-crafted to deal situations libraries are facing today. We'll look at such policies as challenged material, patron privacy, and behavior.
