Item F1
Approval of Temporary Entryway Policy
The library's "Access of Demonstrators, Solicitors, and Petitioners to Walkways and Entrances of the
Grand Island Public Libraries" policy indicates that "such activity will not be permitted (a) on the
building's exterior steps and entranceway". It will be necessary to close the current entrance during
much of the renovation project with the entrance moving to the south side of the building (Children's
Section), and so to be able to enforce this access policy, board approval of a Temporary Entryway Policy
is sought. A draft recommendation is attached.

Temporary Entryway Policy
PROPOSED July 23, 2018
The 2018 Library Renovation project will require the closure of the library’s west entrance.
During that time, the walkway on the south side of the building leading to and including the
Children’s Section doors (general confines pictured below) is designated as the library’s
entryway. This area is for passageway, entry and exit only and shall not be used for any purpose
that obstructs or otherwise interferes with access to the library. This policy will be rescinded upon
the reopening of the library’s west entrance.
