We are open to the public but we ask that they sign in at the desk as they come in.  We do not ask for identification and while they can use items in house, they cannot borrow anything.  We are a bit hard to find so we don't attract casual users.  Consequently, we have never had a problem and no need to add further restrictions.

I have been asked to review our public access policy. What is your policy/procedure for allowing the public to use your library?

Thanks
