Dickinson County Library

Policies

Information on library policies

A full manual of library policies can be viewed at the circulation desk of all branches. Additional policies of interest will be added to this page in the coming months.

It is the hope and intention of the Library Board that the policy handbook shall provide a firm foundation for the administration of the library and the basis for procedures, provide the rationale for planning and budgeting, and provide continuing guidance in a written form for future boards, librarians, and the local community.

All library policies are reviewed on a bi-annual basis unless circumstances deem earlier review by the Library Board.
