Public Relations Policy
The Tuscarawas County Public Library wishes to ensure that the public receives consistent and accurate information about library policy, procedures, programs and services. To further that aim, we establish the following regulations:
Contacts to the media initiated by the Library will be done by the person or persons in charge of the specific program, service or policy being addressed.
Contacts initiated by the media should be directed to the Library Director, or to the appropriate Department e.g. To the Children's Department Head about Children's services.
Speaking engagements will be scheduled as requested of the branch or department involved.
Promotional materials will be the responsibility of the Department sponsoring the activity, and will follow standard guidelines for use of copyright–free art and quality design.
In the event of an emergency, official statements to the public and the media will be made by the Library Director, his/her designee, or a Department Head placed in charge of the library.
If it is necessary for library staff to provide the public with information, the Management Team (Director, Clerk–Treasurer, Department Heads) will inform staff what is to be said.
Adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Tuscarawas County Public Library
