PCL Policies

Food And Drink Policy

The Parkland Community Library strives to create a welcoming environment for the public. It is consistent with this goal to allow food and non-alcoholic beverages to be consumed in the library in a responsible and considerate manner, minimizing the risk of damage to the library collection, computers, and furnishings while meeting the needs of users who are in the library for extended periods. Therefore, the following rules apply:

  • Covered beverages and snacks are permitted.
  • Covered beverages should have a cap or a securely fitted lid.
  • Library staff has the right to direct patrons to immediately remove any food and beverages that do not conform to this policy in the library staff’s sole judgment.
  • Patrons bringing food and beverages into the library are responsible for disposing of empty containers and trash in appropriate receptacles; they must clean up any spills or messes they create, and they must bring any more serious damage to the attention of library staff immediately.

Damage caused by food/drinks will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Unattended Child Policy

For the protection and well-being of children who use and enjoy the library, the following policy has been established:

  1. Library staff cannot assume responsibility for the care, safety, or well-being of children in the library.
  2. Parents are responsible for the behavior of their children of any age while in the Library.

 

Returned Check Policy

The Library will accept cash, money orders, cashier checks, or personal checks for the payments of fines and fees. If a check is returned for any reason, the Library will assess a processing fee of $25 on the patron’s library account. Payment must be made in full with cash or money order before the customer can resume borrowing privileges. The Library reserves the right to refuse personal checks of any patron who previously has had checks returned.
