The Library has limited space for circulating collections; therefore, a limited number of donated items become part of the Library’s permanent collection. Donations added to our collection must meet the same criteria applied to materials purchased through our Library’s operating budget. 

Some of the factors that influence material selection are:

• Suitability of the physical format for library use

• Professional reviews

• Community needs and interests

Donations that are not added to the Library’s collection will be placed in the Friends of the Library’s book sale. Proceeds from the Friends of the Library book sale support library programs, resources, and materials.

Local Authors:

If you are interested in donating a copy of your book to our local author collection, you can find the donation form & guidelines here.

* Our collection development guidelines can be found here.

The Lake Geneva Public Library has a limited number of volunteer opportunities available. In general, the Library receives more requests to provide volunteer hours than it can fill.

Each request for volunteer work is evaluated on an individual basis related to current needs and the availability of Library staff to supervise volunteer work.

Approval to provide volunteer hours at the Library is at the discretion of the Library Director.

The Library will reconsider the selection of materials in its collection, its selection of links on its web site, or discuss the purpose of displays or programs sponsored by the Library upon written request. Requests for resource review and reconsideration are only accepted from Lake Geneva Public Library patrons (registered cardholders with valid Lake Geneva Public Library accounts in good standing).

A patron is encouraged to discuss informally his or her concerns about Library materials or services with a staff librarian or the Library Director. This discussion is held by prearranged appointment at a mutually convenient time. At this time, the patron is given a copy of the Statement of Concern about Library Materials form to be completed by the patron.

Patrons not wishing to make an appointment to discuss their concerns must complete the Statement of Concern about Library Materials form if action is requested and submit it to the Library Director for review. The Director will assign two additional staff members to review the material. All staff will file written comments regarding the appropriateness, literary merits, and adherence of the material to the Library’s mission. Published reviews will be assembled. All of the above will be shared with the patron, along with the Director’s written decision as to the disposition of the challenged material.

If concerns still remain, the patron may request, in writing, that the Library Board of Trustees discuss the situation. The Board’s decision shall be final.

The Lake Geneva Public Library follows the Records Retention schedule set by the Wisconsin Public Records Board for public libraries.

Records retention information from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is available here.

The Lake Geneva Public Library follows the State of Wisconsin Open Records Law.

Our Primary goal is to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers, and patrons. In any emergency situation, life is more important than property. In any serious or life threatening situation, Library staff will call 911, or other emergency contacts if it is not life threatening.

Library staff is responsible for reporting building emergency incidents to the Library Director (and the Lake Geneva Police Department if needed) as soon as possible before/during/after an incident.

1. General Evacuation

The building is to be evacuated in any case of fire, no matter how small or large. The building is to be evacuated for bomb threats. The building may be evacuated for water problems, gas leaks, fire or other emergencies.

There are four exits from the building:

1. Main North Entrance/Exit

2. Staff Workroom Door

3. Smith Meeting Room Door

4. Lakeside South Doors

The following process should be followed:

• Library Director or staff member in charge should check to be sure all staff and patrons have exited before leaving the Library building. Do attempt to silence or reset alarm until authorized by Fire Department if applicable.

• Once outside, staff and patrons should gather on the northeast corner by the Library at the corner of Highway 50 (Main Street) and Wrigley Drive.

• A staff person should remain with patrons at all times if possible (if patrons exit the patio doors or other exits, it may not be possible to locate all patrons outside of the building).

• Patrons should be encouraged to remain in the safe area until authorized by Fire Department or Police to leave.

• Even in the case of a false alarm, no one is to reenter the building unless authorized by Fire Department, Police, or Utilities.

2. Fire

There are eight all-purpose fire extinguishers placed around the building at these locations:

• Front desk

• West end - by breaker panel

• Basement – foot of stairs

• Basement – outside furnace room

• Staff workroom – copier next to door

• Lobby near Friends book sale

• Smith Meeting Room near library door

• Kitchen break room - under sink

In the case of fire, however small, the following steps need to be taken in this order:

1. One staff member calls 911

2. A staff member may use a fire extinguisher if the fire danger is minimal, however if the blaze escalates, leave the building

3. Another staff member directs evacuation of building

To use a fire extinguisher, remember the word PASS:

• Stand 8 feet away from the fire.

• Pull out the safety pin.

• Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the flames.

• Squeeze or press the handle.

• Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until it extinguishes.

• Monitor the situation and evacuate if the fire escalates.

3. Tornado

If the local warning siren sounds, or if local weather information indicates a tornado warning (not a watch), all staff and patrons in the building must go to the basement for shelter. Sit along the wall away from the basement door in the direction the tornado is coming from. If time permits, staff should lock the front doors. An alternative location for those unable or unwilling to go to the basement is the northeast side of the Smith Meeting Room under the supervision of Library staff.

Patron/Staff Emergency Incident:

1. First Aid – 911 if emergency

• A first aid kit and non-sterile gloves are located in the staff workroom. These supplies are available for minor injuries to staff.

• Staff are not to administer first aid to patrons; but patrons request, staff may supply band aids for patrons to use on their own.

Do not move an injured person

• Clear the area for easy access for the emergency responders.

• All injuries, whether to staff or patrons, must be reported to the Library Director as soon as possible. Staff injuries that could result in worker’s compensation must be reported to City Hall within the designated time frames (ASAP).

Social media technology is defined as any website or (mobile) application that allows users to share information. This includes blogging, instant messaging, social networking, and wikis.

The Lake Geneva Public Library uses various social media platforms in order to become more accessible to its users and to inform them about library events, services, and resources. The Library does not act in place of or in the absence of a parent. The Library is not responsible for enforcing restrictions which a parent or guardian may place on a minor’s user of social media. The Library’s social media policy supplements the Library’s internet use policy.

Scope

This policy applies to all Lake Geneva Public Library staff as well as library patrons and guests interacting with the Library on social media.

Rights of the Library

The Lake Geneva Public Library director and/or designated staff reserve the right to monitor content posted
on any of its social media applications, websites, and accounts, and to modify or remove any messages, tags, or postings that are abusive, defamatory, in violation of copyright, trademark right, or other
intellectual property right of any third party, or otherwise inappropriate for the service.

Appropriate Content

• Library event announcements

• Library policies and procedures

• Information about library services, trends, or technologies and continuing education

• Communication between Library staff and patrons about library resources and services

• Promotion of the Lake Geneva Public Library and Lakeshores Library System, library associations, or other professional entities related to the Lake Geneva Public Library

• Photos of library events (programs, events and classes may be photographed or videotaped for library promotional purposes: patrons should notify library staff if they prefer not to appear in photos or videos)

Inappropriate Content

• Obscene or racist content

• Personal attacks, insults, or threatening language

• Potentially libelous statements

• Copyrighted or plagiarized material

• Private, personal information published without consent

• Comments unrelated to the content of the forum (including religious and/or political postings or endorsements)

• Links to material unrelated to the discussion or the Library

• Commercial

The Lake Geneva Public Library Board of Trustees is committed to providing a safe and welcoming library environment. Wisconsin State Statutes Chapter 43.52(2) states that the Lake Geneva Public Library Board of Trustees may enact regulations to render use most beneficial to the greatest number. Chapter 43.58(1) establishes the library board’s exclusive control over the library building.  This policy sets guidelines for use of library security cameras (video), as well as access and retrieval of recorded video images at the Lake Geneva Public Library.

Security cameras are used to discourage violations of the library’s code of conduct and provide law enforcement assistance in prosecuting criminal activity. Cameras record video images only and do not record audio.

Cameras may be installed in public spaces where individuals lack a reasonable expectation of privacy (service desks, entrances, seating areas, book stacks, or areas where money is stored or handled). They will not be installed in areas where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as restrooms or private offices.

Cameras are not monitored constantly, so public and staff should take appropriate safety measures for themselves and the security of their personal property. The Lake Geneva Public Library is not responsible for the loss of property of personal injury.

Recorded data is confidential and secured in controlled areas. Video recordings are typically stored for no longer than a week. As new images are recorded, the oldest images will be automatically erased. Video recording files saved for law enforcement purposes will be saved by the Library until the matter is resolved. Any footage given to the Lake Geneva Police Department will not be under Library control as soon as it is turned over.

Cameras are not for routine staff performance evaluations and will not be used for that purpose.

Video surveillance recordings may ONLY be accessed by the Library Director, or staff member designated by the Director, as video surveillance data is considered protected public library records. The Lake Geneva Public Library will follow law enforcement directives as permitted by Chapter 43.30(5) and 2007 Act 34. A court order will be required to obtain library records that may indicate the identity of library users, with the following exceptions:

• “Upon the request of a law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to have occurred at a library supported in whole or in part by public funds, the library shall disclose to the law enforcement officer all records pertinent to the alleged criminal conduct that were produced by a surveillance device under the control of the library.”

• “If a library requests the assistance of a law enforcement officer, and the director of the library determines that records produced by a surveillance device under the control of the library may assist the law enforcement officer to render the requested assistance, the library may disclose the records to the law enforcement officer.”

The Lake Geneva Public Library (LGPL) is able to proctor exams if library staff are able to comply with the educational institution’s requirements for proctoring.

• A valid photo ID is required for verification of each student taking an exam.

• A fee of $15 per exam taken must be paid at the Circulation Desk before the exam is taken.

• Exams to be returned by mail must be accompanied with a postage paid envelope (provided by student or educational institution).

All fees and costs associated with the exam are the responsibility of the student or educational institution issuing the exam. Anyone needing to have an exam proctored should contact the library  a minimum of one week in advance.

Exams may be taken when the Library is open if a staff member is available to proctor the exam. The student is responsible for the arranging the delivery of the exam to the library and also meeting any deadlines set by their educational institution. Proctors will not monitor exam takers continuously, and the library cannot provide study rooms or guarantee quiet spaces for exam takers. The student is encouraged to reserve either the KC Meeting Room or Swanson Meeting Room via the library website to use for their exam (student responsibility). The library will proctor online exams only with the administering institution’s permission and as long as the student uses their own laptop. Proctors will not sign any forms stating more than they were able to do. The library reserves the right to reject any or all proctoring requests.

The Lake Geneva Public Library offers public access to computers with various productivity software programs, email and Internet access as an educational and recreational resource to its cardholders. The Library maintains a website that provides information about the Library, its resources, services, and events.

The Internet is not controlled by the Lake Geneva Public Library; it is a global entity that constantly changes. The Internet presents ideas and information from around the world that can be personally, professionally, and culturally enriching. However, not all resources on the Internet are accurate, current, or meet an individual’s needs. Users are advised to exercise the same judgment with electronic resources they apply to printed materials.

The Library cannot monitor the information presented on the Internet. As with other types of library materials, it is the responsibility of the user, parent, or care giver to select information suitable for their needs. Library staff assume that children in the Library have parental permission to utilize all library resources.

Library patrons who access the Internet bear their own responsibility in terms of suitability, reliability, copyright, and other legal applications. The Library cannot guarantee patrons will be able to complete their desired task due to the limitations of the hardware, productivity software and security systems of the Internet computer stations. In addition, patrons cannot expect complete privacy. The Library reserves the right to make on the spot decisions about particular sites that may be deemed inappropriate in a public setting. In such cases, Library staff does their best to apply library collection and behavior guidelines in a thoughtful and consistent manner.

Computers will normally be available from the time the Library opens until fifteen minutes prior to the closing of the Library although exceptions may occur (with or without notice to patrons). 

Printing is available at a cost from all computers as well as remote printing service.

Use of the Lake Geneva Public Library’s Internet services indicates acceptance of this policy and patron responsibility for the equipment provided and actions while using it. Any attempt to bypass or to defeat the security or reservation systems used with the public Internet computer stations is prohibited. Any attempt to alter or reposition the computers or any attached equipment is also prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy may result in, but not be limited to, suspension of computer privileges at the Lake Geneva Public Library at staff discretion.

CIPA compliance

It is the policy of Lake Geneva Public Library to: (a) prevent user access over its computer network to, or transmission of, inappropriate material via Internet, electronic mail, or other forms of direct electronic communications; (b) prevent unauthorized access and other unlawful online activity; (c) prevent unauthorized online disclosure, use, or dissemination of personal identification information of minors; and (d) comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act [Pub. L. No. 106-554 and 47 USC 254(h)].

Access to Inappropriate Material

To the extent practical, technology protection measures (or “Internet filters”) shall be used to block or filter Internet, or other forms of electronic communications, access to inappropriate information. Specifically, as required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, blocking shall be applied to visual depictions of material deemed obscene or child pornography, or to any material deemed harmful to minors.

Inappropriate Network Usage 

To the extent practical, steps shall be taken to promote the safety and security of users of the Lake Geneva Public Library online computer network when using electronic mail, chat rooms, instant messaging, and other forms of direct electronic communications.

Specifically, as required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, prevention of inappropriate network usage includes: (a) unauthorized access, including so-called ‘hacking,’ and other unlawful activities; and (b) unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors.

Education, Supervision and Monitoring

It shall be the responsibility of all members of the Lake Geneva Public Library staff to educate, supervise and monitor appropriate usage of the online computer network and access to the Internet in accordance with this policy, the Children’s Internet Protection Act, the Neighborhood Children’s Internet Protection Act, and the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act.

Requests to donate permanent works of art are at the discretion of the Library Board of Trustees. Space is limited for permanent art displays and donated art may be in storage for extended periods of time, and displayed art is determined by the Library Staff & Board.

Temporary art displays are in partnership with the Geneva Lake Art Foundation (GLAF), and the GLAF manages the rotating monthly paintings displayed on the picture rail in the west end of the library. Any requests for use of this display space must be coordinated with the GLAF, and purchases of art on display must also be arranged with the GLAF directly.

The Lake Geneva Public Library Board of Trustees recognizes the need to provide quality programs for all ages that support the mission and goals of the Library. Library initiated programs are a library resource and may include, but are not limited to, speeches, discussion groups, lectures, community forums, and live or media presentations that meet educational, informational, cultural, and recreational needs within the community. Library initiated programs utilize staff expertise and library collections to promote the power of reading and to offer access to information in a group setting.

Library initiated programs may:

• Promote appreciation of books, reading, and the humanities.

• Introduce library services

• Enhance the use of the Library’s collections

• Improve access to information

• Encourage community dialogue and involvement

All Library programs are free of charge and are open to the general public. Authors or programming partners may autograph and sell books at the discretion of the Library Director provided that such sale shall not discourage program participation by appearing to be an attendance fee. The Library may participate in cooperative or joint programs with agencies, organizations, institutions, or individuals in order to further Library goals.

The Lake Geneva Public Library Board of Trustees believes that the Library is a vital resource for meeting educational and informational needs within the community. Therefore, the Library:

• assists all individuals, regardless of age, need, or background in obtaining the information they request for personal or professional use

• selects and maintains a reference collection suitable to the evolving needs of the community in appropriate print, non-print, online, and
  Internet formats

• assists patrons in using the online catalog and databases, and instructs users in simple research strategies

• gathers, creates, and familiarizes patrons with resources in the Lake Geneva Public Library Local History Collection

• increases awareness within the community of the reference resources and services available through the Library

• facilitates information requests that cannot be answered within the scope of our resources through referrals to appropriate agencies or libraries

• requests items not found in our collection for patrons through the interlibrary loan process and handles similar requests from other libraries

The Lake Geneva Public Library encourages the use of its meeting and study rooms by the public when use does not interfere with the normal function of the Library and Library programs, and when the use conforms to the guidelines of this policy. Use of Library Meeting Rooms is subject to policies established by the Lake Geneva Public Library Board.

The K.C. and Swanson meeting rooms are available to the public free of charge during library hours. Users may reserve ONE room for a maximum time of 4 hours/day. Library staff may cancel reservations slots in excess of these time limits. These are high-demand spaces, and the 4 hour time limit is imposed to allow as many people as possible an opportunity to reserve and use a meeting room.

The Smith Meeting Room is available for rental at the following rates:

• $100 for 3 hours or less for general use

• No fee for 3 hours or less if a nonprofit organization

• No fee for municipal or county government meetings

Use of the Library Meeting Rooms does not constitute an endorsement of the views of the user of the room by the Library.
