Policy Watch: Circulation and Inclement Weather Policies

At their March 26, 2026 meeting, the Board of Library Trustees approved revisions to two of its policies:

Circulation Policy: Documentation required for new patrons to register for a library card was changed to bring our policy in line with NOBLE’s Borrower’s Card Policy. Also, the word “PIN” (personal identification number was changed to “password,” again in line with NOBLE’s Borrower’s Card Policy. Language was also added to include the NOBLE App which is now a common feature. Finally, provisions for reimbursement of lost book fees were rescinded from the policy. 

Inclement Weather Policy: Language throughout the document was revised to clarify meaning and improve syntax. Additionally, provisions pertaining to declaration of parking bans by Town Hall were added.
