Emergency Closing

Emergencies or catastrophes, including, but not limited to, extreme weather, utility failure, demonstration, bomb threat, fire, explosion, or terrorism may require closing the library.

The primary consideration in any emergency or catastrophe is the safety of all persons in the building and on the property. The library cooperates fully with public safety departments and emergency service providers.

The Library Director or, in his absence, the President of the Board of Trustees will determine when to close the library during an emergency or catastrophe.
