Library Use and Conduct Policy Update

KFPL began consulting on its Code of Conduct Policy in the summer of 2024, gathering feedback from the community to create a policy that promotes the safety, dignity and intellectual freedom of library patrons and staff.

The updated Library Use and Conduct Policy was approved by the Library Board on November 27, 2024 and will take effect on March 31, 2025.
