Common use of Library Programs Clause in Contracts

Library Programs. (A) All Library programs are open to the public. Patrons may on occasion be prevented from attending a program or Library event if attendance exceeds the rated capacity of the particular meeting room space or for other reasons specified herein. Every attempt will be made to accommodate all who wish to attend a program. When safety or the success of a program requires it, attendance may have to be limited. When limits must be established, attendance will be determined on a first come, first served basis. Advance registration or distribution of free tickets before the event may be used if attendance is anticipated to exceed capacity. Multiple sessions of popular programs will be scheduled whenever possible to allow for maximum attendance. (B) Library sponsored programs may be held at the Library, Library property or off-site as appropriate. Any sales of products at Library programs must be approved by the Library Director and benefit the Library by requiring a five percent (5%) donation of the proceeds from sales to the Library Foundation. Programs are for the promotion of literacy, educational, cultural and civic activities, which do not include commercial purposes or for the solicitation of business. (C) Schools and daycare or other organized groups should contact the youth services staff prior to attending scheduled programs. Groups that have not received advance authorization to attend a scheduled program will be admitted if space and materials are available at the advertised starting time with the understanding that it may not be possible to admit everyone in the group. When this situation occurs the group leader will be informed as to how many children can be accommodated. The group leader will then make the decision as to which if any members of the group attend. The group leader is expected to provide supervision for all children in their care, in or out of the program. In those instances when groups cannot be accommodated at scheduled programs library staff may offer to provide a special program for the group at a later and mutually agreed upon date.
