Social Media 

 

In many cases, the public may post public comments to library social media. We respect diverse viewpoints and encourage thoughtful discussion. The library is not responsible for the content of public comments and has no obligation to remove objectionable comments. The library reserves the right to remove content that is not topically related to the library or its services. Additionally, the library reserves the right to remove any of the following:

• content that promotes discrimination
• content that constitutes or encourages illegal activity
• commercial solicitations
• profane language
• sexual content or links to sexual content
• content that violates another party’s intellectual property rights
• private information about an individual shared without that individual’s consent
• content that compromises safety or security
• content regarding political campaigns and ballot measures
• libel

The library evaluates information that it posts online, but sharing or linking to content online does not mean that the library endorses or is affiliated with the content or content creator.

Photographs taken by staff of library events and posted to our social media outlets may be reproduced with the Library Director’s permission. However, the Bacon Free Library’s first priority is the privacy and security of our patrons, especially those below the age of 18. Verbal permission will be requested for using photos on the library’s social media outlets. Written permission will be requested if the library would like to use photos beyond our immediate social media outlets.
