Considerations for establishing hours of service
i. Hours of service at each public service location will be established by the Library Board of Directors based upon the needs of the community it serves, availability of qualified staff, and consideration of budget factors.
ii. The Library may offer access to certain Library branch facilities outside of a facility’s regular staffed hours (“Extended Access”). Extended Access is a self-service option without Library staff present at the Library branch facility. Extended Access is subject to availability and only to patrons who register and execute an Extended Access User Agreement, who are age 18 or older, and possess a valid Library card in good standing. The County Librarian, or the County Librarian’s designee, shall have the authority to determine a patron’s qualifications for Extended Access and termination or suspension of Extended Access privileges.
