The Hernando County Public Library System welcomes everyone to use its facilities. To ensure the comfort and safety of our patrons the Library must enforce some fundamental rules of behavior.
Library patrons engaging in inappropriate behavior will not be allowed to interfere with Library service to others. Inappropriate behavior is defined as any behavior on Library premises which infringes on the rights of others to use the Library in relative comfort and safety, behavior which could result in injury to oneself or others or behavior which could result in damage to Library materials or property.
Inappropriate Library behavior includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Patrons engaging in inappropriate library behavior will be reminded by staff that this conduct is prohibited in the Hernando County Public Library. Individuals who continue to engage in inappropriate behavior will be asked to leave the Library. If a patron refuses to leave the Library, law enforcement will be called. Patrons whose behavior is continually inappropriate or dangerous may be placed on "trespass warning" upon notification of the proper authorities.
The Library Code of Conduct covers behavior on all Library property: Main Library, Library branches, vehicles, deposit collections and all programs under Library control.
