Library Policies and Forms

Policymaking is one of the Library Board’s most important responsibilities. Policies are vital tools in carrying out the board’s planning and evaluation decisions. Library policies established by the board govern and guide all phases of the public library’s operation. Effective policies are management tools for running the library. The trustees, with the help of the director and staff, create these tools. 

What is a policy?

  • A broadly stated guideline for actions and decisions
  • Any governing document which describes a principle or plan
  • A general statement of supporting library operations, rules, regulations and use
  • The basis for procedures, but not a detailed course of action
  • A statement in accordance with the purpose and legal structure of the library
