AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
November 23, 2004
SUBJECT: Library General Policy
FROM: Margaret G. Klinkow, Oak Brook Public Library Director
BUDGET SOURCE /BUDGET IMPACT: $0
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move for passage of Ordinance 2004- LY -EXI -S -1089,
An Ordinance Adopting a Revision to the General Policy for the Oak Brook Public
Library.
Background /History:
Occasionally Oak Brook Public Library patrons have acted inappropriately in the library, using
foul language, raising voices and threatening staff. Although this does not occur often, I believe
there should be a clear policy for dealing with such behavior when it does happen. This is
needed in fairness to all patrons, and to staff that must maintain order in the library.
The proposed changes are to clarify the general policy regarding what is acceptable library
behavior and explain the likely consequences of inappropriate behavior.
Recommendation:
The Library Commission and the Director of the Library recommend that Ordinance 2004 -LY-
EX1 -S -1089 be passed.

B. AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE LIBRARY
MEETING ROOM AND GROUP STUDY ROOMS POLICY
The Library Meeting Room and Group Study Rooms Policy was most recently
amended on July 27, 2004. The current amendment is a clarification of the policy
towards Library sponsored programs and meetings. It affirms that the Village
supports the principles of intellectual freedom. The Library, in conformance with the
Library Bill of Rights of the American Library Association, will continue to provide
programs and information presenting diverse points of view on current and historical
issues.
