1. Emergency Policies

The Karl Junginger Memorial Library will make every effort to remain open during all regularly scheduled hours unless severe weather conditions, building mechanical or utility issues, inadequate staffing, or a safety issue warrants the closing of the facility to the public and/or staff. Examples include, but are not limited to, severe weather, staffing issues, declaration of a state of emergency, utility disruptions, natural disasters, and terrorist actions. In all cases, the safety of employees and the public will be the primary consideration.

The decision to close the Library to the public due to an emergency will be made by the Library Director or designee. The Library board permits the Library Director to close the library for any emergency reasons. Closings will be announced using appropriate outlets and the Director will inform the Clerk/Treasurer’s Office and Library Board of Trustees of the decision.
