The New London Public Library is committed to the philosophy of a statewide borrowers card. All residents of the state of Wisconsin are eligible for a library card.
Library circulation records of patrons 16 and older are confidential under Wisconsin Statute 43.30. Upon the request of a custodial parent or guardian of a child under the age of 16, the library will disclose to the custodial parent or guardian all library records relating to the use of the library's documents or other materials, resources or services by the child.
The library will accept donations of books and other collection materials. Once donated, the books and other materials become the property of the library, and the library reserves the right to use and dispose of them in the manner most useful to the library.
This could include adding them to the collection, sending them to other libraries or schools, placing them in the used book sale, or disposing of them.
By law, the library is not allowed to appraise the value of donated materials, although it can provide an acknowledgement of receipt of the items if requested by the donor.
The Library may close (or postpone opening) when weather conditions exist making it highly improbable for travel. The primary factor of any decision made will be the safety of the staff and the library patrons. However, maximum effort will be made to maintain regular library operating hours.
The New London Police Department will be called upon for advice concerning impending road conditions. If hazardous road conditions occur, the director (or senior staff member) will call a Library/Museum Trustee (preferably the president) to advise him/her of the situation. Read More »
