Library Use Policy (Other than Meeting Room)

Library users have the right to study, read or work without unreasonable interference.  Library patrons must respect the rights of others who are using the library.  Noise may not be louder than the ambient noise in the room.  The New Providence Library reserves the right to ask users to lower their level of noise, and also to relocate groups of 2 or more within the library.

 Chairs and tables are available on a first-come basis.  Patrons can expect to share a table or a space with others as needed.  Tables may not be reserved.  Furniture must not be moved.

It is the responsibility of the owner to safeguard personal belongings.  The Library is not responsible for personal property, including cell phones, laptops, iPads, handbags, etc.

Library users may not publish or distribute advertisements, letters or electronic communication indicating the library as their place of business, or otherwise imply library sponsorship of their activities.  Any materials for display or distribution must be approved by the Library Director.

The Library does not provide or endorse any tutors or coaches.  Clients are responsible to perform background checks and reference checks as part of the hiring process.  The library accepts no responsibility in this regard.

Children under the age of ten must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them while they are in the library.  For their safety, all children must be picked up before closing time by a parent or guardian.

 All persons must exit the building by closing time.  It is the responsibility of all library users to be aware of library hours and holiday closings.
