New Guidelines on Program Attendance

We understand that sometimes, unexpected instances can occur that may prevent you from attending a program that you registered for.  If you find that you are unable to attend an event, please give us a call, email us, or cancel your registration online.  This will afford others who would like to attend, the opportunity to participate.  

Unfortunately, absences without prior notification and extreme tardiness have been hindering library staff from carrying out programs to the best of our abilities.  Even more importantly, these disruptive behaviors are undermining the positive experiences of other participants. The Library's Patron Behavior Policy explicitly states that behavior that “interferes with the enjoyment of the library by other individuals” can result in adverse consequences.

Therefore, we feel it’s important to announce our new guidelines for program attendance.  Beginning on July 1st, any registrant for an adult program who is a “no-show” and/or is more than 15 minutes late for two events will subsequently be moved to the waitlist for the next program they register for.  

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping make our library programs pleasurable and meaningful for all.
