\nthe library to be open even in severe weather or when building functions are impaired.
\n2- The Library may close (or postpone opening) when weather conditions make it highly
\nimprobable or dangerous for travel. The primary factor of any decision made will be the safety
\nof the staff, volunteers, and library patrons; however, maximum effort will be made to maintain
\nregular library operating hours.
\n3-The decision to close or postpone opening the Library is at the discretion of the Library
\nDirector (or the staff person designated to be in charge when the Director is not available). The
\nLibrary Board President will be contacted and advised of the situation (or other Board Member
\nif the Library Board President is unavailable or otherwise cannot be reached). In deteriorating
\nweather conditions or other issues concerning the potential safe use of the facility or potentially
\nhazardous travel conditions, volunteers and\/or non-essential staff may be sent home if deemed
\nprudent by the Library Director.
\n4-Every effort will be made to have public announcements of the unscheduled closure on the
\nLibrary\u2019s website, telephone answering message, or by any other sources that may be available
\nto the Library Director. If possible, a note will be posted on the library door describing the
\nsituation and stating when the Library is expected to reopen.
\n5-In the event of an emergency or other unscheduled closure on days that children\u2019s programs
\nare normally scheduled and normally coordinated with the schools, every effort will be made to
\ninform the school, bus transportation and parents regarding library closure in reducing
\nunnecessary and potentially hazardous travel. This may be done by phone, email or social media — e.g., NextDoor.
\n6-This is intended as \u2018best effort\u2019 with available library resources.
\n7-In case of any emergency (e.g. power outage), closing is also at the discretion of the Library
\nDirector with the same notification process as described above. Severe summer storms may
\nentail closure or reduced use of the facility by the public and staff until conditions have
\nsufficiently moderated.

\n8-In the event of closure, scheduled employees will be compensated as if there were no loss of
\nservice.
\n9-Procedures for this policy are available as Emergency Closing Procedures and NWS Lightning
