Library Policies

Library Internet Policy

The intent of the Ephraim Public Library Computer & Internet Policy is to comply with the provisions of Utah and Federal Code. This policy also serves to provide guidelines for Ephraim Public Library (hereafter, Library) patrons and staff regarding computer and internet usage.

Library Collection Development Policy

The purpose of the Collection Development Policy is to guide librarians and the Library Board (hereafter, the Board) and to inform the public of the principles upon which selections are made.

Library Reconsideration Policy

A singular obligation of a public library is to reflect, within its collection, differing points of view on controversial or debatable subjects. The Ephraim Public Library does not declare particular beliefs or views, nor does the selection of an item express or imply an endorsement of the author's/creator's viewpoint. Library materials WILL NOT be marked or identified to show approval or disapproval of content.

Library Code of Conduct Policy

This Code of Conduct is to ensure that everyone who comes into the library enjoys a safe, welcoming, and barrier-free environment. We ask that all people who visit the library follow the rules and show respect to the facility, its resources, and all other people in the library, whether staff or patrons. It is the right of everyone to enjoy their time at the library.

Library Circulation Policy

Residents of Ephraim City, Manti, or Mt. Pleasant may obtain a library card for $1.00 to cover the printing cost of the card. Replacement cards will also cost $1.00. Cards must be present when materials are checked out. Library patrons who are not residents of Ephraim City, Manti, or Mt. Pleasant may be required to pay an additional fee as outlined below. In order for patrons to obtain a card, they must be able to present identification to verify their correct name and current address. A rental agreement, utility bill, or tax notice showing their name and current address, in addition to their driver’s license, would be considered proof of residency. Library card users will be asked for the following information when registering for a library card: name, address, phone number, ID information, birth date and email address. We will ask for parental information, including name and ID, for minor children’s records. We will record this information in your digital record and by providing this information you agree to the terms of this policy. All information is retained in the patron record in order to contact and identify the patron. This information is not shared or released without due legal process. To maintain current usage statistics required by the State Library, cards will be deleted after two years if they have not been used during that time. Cards come up for renewal once a year due to contractual licensing for our digital collections through the State Library. This also allows for updates to the patron record if needed.
