Community Use of the Library

YORKTOWN-MT. PLEASANT TWP. COMMUNITY LIBRARY

COMMUNITY USE OF THE LIBRARY

On occasion, the Library may serve as a meeting place for community organizations. Public use will be restricted to small groups during library hours of operation. No after hours use will be permitted except programs offered by the library. Arrangements should be made with the Director. Final approval will be granted by the Library Board of Trustees.

Groups using the library are responsible for set-up and any special needs for this use. The group is also responsible for putting the area used back the way it was prior to the meeting. Any damages that occur to the library or library property will be the group's responsibility. The group is required to compensate the library for those damages in a timely manner.

The following types of groups may apply for permission to hold meetings in the library:

Small non-profit community groups
One-on-one tutoring - See addendum: Use of Library Facilities for Tutoring
Public education programs sponsored by a government agency or non-profit organization
Other types of groups will be considered on a case by case basis (final approval is the responsibility of the Library Board of Trustees)

No admission charge may be made for meetings held at the Library. No buying or selling is permitted, without prior approval from the Director. Membership dues and/or registration fees covering the cost of materials or speakers are acceptable. Library staff will not be responsible for the collection of such fees.

The Board of the Yorktown-Mt. Pleasant Twp. Community Library welcomes your comments, suggestions, and concerns. Such communication may be made in writing to any Board officer or in person at a regularly scheduled Board meeting.

The Library Board meets the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Library. All community members are welcome to attend and participate; however, only Board members and officers will be eligible to vote.

ADDENDUM

USE OF LIBRARY FACILITIES FOR TUTORING

Yorktown-Mt. Pleasant Twp. Community Library recognizes that children sometimes need tutoring (additional personal instruction) for school subjects. We wish to cooperate with individuals involved in tutoring services. Because the library does not have separate meeting rooms, such tutoring must take place in the common area.

 Tutors

Must make arrangements with the library Director concerning days and times available before initial session.
Must stay with students until parents pick the students up.
Must conclude sessions at least 10 minutes prior to the library closing.
