*Circulation Policy
The Board approved removing language from the Circulation & Library Card Policy related to checking out to patrons who forget their library card.
The new circulation procedure that covers such cases says that patrons can check out without a photo ID or a library card if they verify two of these three pieces of information: address, date of birth, phone number.

The Board approved the library’s 2018-2023 Strategic Plan. We’ll discuss the plan in detail at the November all-staff meeting.
