Acceptance of a library card constitutes acknowledgment of responsibility for its use, for materials borrowed with it and for all fines charged against it. Parents assume responsibilities for their children less than 18 years of age. New library cards will be issued to patrons completing a registration form and presenting a valid state-issued identification. If the address on the identification is not the current address, a bill or bank statement must be presented to verify the address. These documents may be scanned and held for record keeping or reference.
The Perry Public Library, in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, defines records as including the following: Any document - paper, electronic (including, but not limited to, e-mail), or other format - that is created or received by, or comes under the jurisdiction of a public office that documents the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the office. All records of the Library are public unless they are specifically exempt from disclosure under the Ohio Revised Code.
Children, and their safety, are of great concern to Perry Public Library. The Library staff tries very hard to ensure that all patrons have a fun pleasant time while visiting the library.
Parents need to remember that the library is a public place that welcomes customers of all ages. The Library staff cannot monitor children when they leave the Library building. The staff also cannot prevent children from interacting with persons whose interest in children may not be entirely wholesome.
