Outside Program Policy

Adopted: 1-92
Amended: 11-21-00

The librarians will be available to provide tours, booktalks, storytelling and workshops for schools, students, and community groups according to the following guidelines:

1. Visits to the library must be arranged in advance and be compatible with the librarian's regular schedule.

 

2. Teachers are responsible for providing adequate adult supervision when bringing students to the library according to the purpose of the visit and the age of the students.

 

3. Visits to the classroom by the librarian must be arranged in advance by the teacher. Whenever possible the librarian will accommodate the classroom schedule, but library staffing considerations will have priority.

 

4. Type of presentation (i.e. booktalks, storytelling, workshops), group size and grade level must be specified when arranging the visit.

 

5. Booktalks may be arranged for community groups according to the availability of the librarian. Other programs must be arranged privately with the librarian.

 

6. Additional storytelling programs in the classroom or for community groups may be arranged privately with librarian. The librarian must receive permission from the director to be gone if the program takes place during her regular work schedule. Adequate library staffing will have priority. All time away from work for additional programs will be made up in the same pay period.
