The District is governed by the Board of Trustees, which has legal responsibility for providing and maintaining public library services for the citizens of the District. In doing so it carries out specific requirements of state law, one of which is to “Adopt such bylaws, rules, and regulations for their own guidance and for the government of the library as they deem expedient” (RCW 27.12.210(1)). As such, the Library District’s Board of Trustees has adopted several policies which govern both customer use of library services and internal operations.
All policies are discussed and adopted during open public meetings and are reviewed by the Board on a regular schedule.
