MEMORANDUM
TO:
Colleyville Public Library Board
FROM:
Mary E. Rodne, Library Director
DATE:
August 7,2003
SUBJECT:
Revised Library Code of Conduct
Attached is the Library Code of Conduct with the reVISions, in bold print,
suggested at the July 14, 2003, Library Board meeting, with the exception of one,
item 6 under the General Code of Conduct section. It was suggested to change:
Consumption of food or beverages, except in the context of Library programming
and events in meeting room; to read: Consumption of food or beverages,
except in designated areas.
Staff reviewed the suggested change and proposes that the original wording be
considered for the following reasons:
)>- That the original wording is more specific, as to what area and in what
context, food and beverages will be allowed in the Library, making it easier
for staff to enforce;
)>- That the suggested revision wording is not as specific, as to where food
and beverages will be allowed, which will make it harder for staff to
enforce;
)>- That it has not yet been determined if an area will be designated for food
or beverages inside the library;
)>- That the Library will have limited staff when it opens, and they will need to
focus on setting up a new library and building services and programs;
)>- That once the Library is open, it may be evaluated if coffee service would
enhance the services of the Library;
)>- And that if it is decided that the Library will provide coffee service, the
Code of Conduct would be revised to include specific wording.
Please review. If you would like additional changes, please note them and bring
them up for discussion during the August 11, 2003, Library Board meeting.

UNATTENDED CHILDREN POLICY
o GENERAL STATEMENT
Service to children is a high priority of the Colleyville Public Library.
Children of all ages are welcomed and encouraged to use the Library's
materials, programs and services. The Colleyville Public Library staff is
committed to helping children with activities related to the Library. Great
effort is taken to make the Library a warm, pleasant and inviting building.
However, the Library is an open, public facility and, as such, is not a safe
place to leave a child unattended. The well-being and safety of children
left alone or unattended is a serious concern for the City and the staff.
Parents or adult caregivers (18 years of age or older) are responsible for
the care of their children using this facility. Library staff cannot assume
the responsibility for the supervision of unattended children in the Library.
In order to provide for the general welfare of young patrons, this policy
was developed.
o STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide consistent guidance for unattended
children at the Colleyville Public Library.
o CHILDREN, AGE 11 AND UNDER - UNATTENDED
Children, age 11 and under, may not be left unattended by a parent or an
adult caregiver at any time in any part of the Library. If left unattended,
staff will attempt to locate the parent or adult caregiver. If the adult
caregiver cannot be located in the Library or at home within 30 minutes,
the Colleyville Police Department may be contacted.
o CHILDREN, AGE 11 AND UNDER - PROGRAMS
During story time or other programs that do not require parent or adult
caregiver attendance, the adult caregiver must remain in the building and
return to the program area by the end of the session.
Unattended Children Policy
Draft 8/4/03 .
Page 1 of3
o CHILDREN, AGE 12 AND UP - UNATTENDED
Children, age 12 and up, are welcome to use the Library, unsupervised, if
their behavior is in accordance with the behavior policy. However, parents
or adult caregivers should not view the Library as an alternative to
daycare. Library staff cannot serve as babysitters, teachers or
disciplinarians. For safety's sake, parents or adult caregivers should make
sure their children are sufficiently mature before allowing them to visit the
Library by themselves.
o DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR
Behavior that is disruptive to other patrons or staff is not allowed. Parents
and adult caregivers should be advised that if children misbehave, staff
will attempt to locate a parent or an adult caregiver to pick up the child. If
a parent or an adult caregiver cannot be contacted within 30 minutes, staff
members may call the Colleyville Police Department for assistance.
Violations of this policy are grounds for suspension of Library privileges.
Whenever advisable, the Library will notify the parent or guardian of
incidents involving an unattended child.
o CHILDREN UNATTENDED AT CLOSING
Parents and caregivers should be aware of closing times, particularly on
weekends. Announcements are made before closing to remind children to
arrange for rides. If children are left unattended in the Library at closing,
the staff will attempt to locate a parent or adult caregiver. No youth under
the age of 16 shall be left without transportation. Two staff members will
wait 15 minutes with children. If children do not have a ride within 15
minutes, staff members will call the Colleyville Police Department for
assistance.
Staff members are not to give children, left without transportation, a ride
under any circumstances.

Revised Colleyville Public Library Donations Policy
Attached is the Donations Policy with the revisions suggested at the July 14,
2003, Library Board meeting. The revisions are in bold print. Please review. If
you would like additional changes, please note them and bring them up for
discussion during the August 11, 2003, Library Board meeting.
Library Donor Tree Update:
During the July 14, 2003, Library Board meeting, recognition of substantial
donations was discussed. The concept of a donor tree in the library was
proposed. Staff consented to work with Brinkley Sargent Architects for a
recommendation. Brinkley Sargent staff has proposed an approximate size and
tree style. The tree proposed is 4' x 5' with 200 leaves and named The Growing
Tree. (See attached) In order to prepare a recommendation, their staff needs a
target number of "leaves". Currently, no funding has been allocated for the
purchase of a donor tree. This would need to be a consideration if plans are
made to proceed with the project.
Based on the above, staff is presenting the proposed donor tree style, size and
funding for review and consideration. If a decision is made to move forward with
the project, a recommendation will need to be forwarded to the City Council for
final approval.

Attached is the Meeting Room Space Policy and Regulations with the revisions

PUBLIC LIBRARY
Meeting <Room Policy and Regulations
o GENERALSTATEMENT
The Colleyville Public Library is aware of the need for meeting space for local
groups. Making available such accommodations to the public is an additional
service, which the Library may render under conditions recommended by the
Library Board and set by the City of Colleyville.
Space, staff limitations and library schedules necessarily require regulatory
measures, which affect the use of the meeting room space. These rules may be
modified for official library and City functions when deemed appropriate. The
City of Colleyville through its authorized Library representatives reserves the right
to deny permission to use the meeting room space.
o STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide consistent guidance for the Colleyville
Public Staff in Library meeting room space.
o PERMISSIBLE MEETINGS
Meeting room space in the Library is available primarily to meet the operational
needs of the Library, Library - related organizations, and the City of Colleyville.
When meeting room space is not in use by the Library or a City department,
meeting room space is available as specified below. The use of the meeting
room will be assigned by the Library Director in priority order to render use of the
facility for the benefit of the greatest number of city residents. Priority for the use

In preparation for the work session on July 24, 2003, staff reviewed meeting
room policies and meeting room fees of area libraries, and meeting room policies
and fees of other City of Colleyville departments. After careful consideration of
these policies, staff compiled a draft library meeting room policy and meeting
room fee structure that was be distributed for discussion during the work session
on July 24, 2003.

developed. In developing the proposed meeting room fee schedule, the rental
fees of other City facilities were considered. In developing the fee structure for
rental of audiovisual equipment, it was recommended that the Library adopt the
same fees as the Colleyville Center.
Also, the schedule includes other fees that will were not discussed during the
meeting on July 24, 2003, but will need to be included in the formal
recommendation to the Council.
On the basis of the above, the attached fee schedule pertaining to the Library is

Voluntary Library Fund
The Voluntary Park Fund was established in 1976. In 1992, the colleyville
Friends of the Library and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board made a joint
recommendation to the City Council to increase the Voluntary Park Fund from
$1.00 to $2.00 per month and to establish a Voluntary Library Fund with a
donation level of $1.00 per month. The Voluntary Park and Library fees are
listed on Colleyville resident's water bills.
The Voluntary Park Fund, as reflected in Resolution R-96-1042, was established
for the purpose of acquisition of park land and/or development and improvement
of park land and facilities on City-owned and Grapevine Independent School
District-owned property; and said fund can be used for approved parks and
recreation programs; however, said fund will not be used for park maintenance.
In consideration of the opening of the Colleyville Public Library, staff is presenting
the Voluntary Library Fund to the Board for review and consideration.
