Policy on Smoking
Revised June 18, 2018
Smoking and use of tobacco products including electronic cigarettes in the library building and on library grounds
is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of patrons and staff, and designation of non-smoking and smoking
areas is governed by Library Board policy.
In preparation for and during all aspects of the library’s 2018 renovation, all interior areas of the library building
and exterior areas of the library grounds are to be designated as non-smoking. This policy will be revised post-
construction to determine if any exterior smoking areas will be premitted on library grounds.
Disposal of tobacco products on library grounds by any means other than designated disposal receptacles is
prohibited.
