Rutherford Free Public Library Code of Conduct
The Rutherford Free Public Library strives to maintain an atmosphere conducive to the use of Library services and facilities and as such, all visitors are required to comply with a Code of Conduct. Participating in any illegal activity or in any of the following activities is not allowed on Library premises, including buildings and grounds. In cases of disruptive behavior, identification, including name, address, and phone number, may be requested.
The Library may charge a visitor for damage to materials or facilities, or restrict an individual’s ability to borrow materials or to visit Library property when such use may jeopardize the health and safety of others or the cleanliness of Library facilities, collections, equipment, or furniture.
Any visitor not abiding by the regulations set forth in this policy may be required to leave the Library premises and may be required to forfeit their Library privileges. Library employees will contact the police if deemed advisable. The Library Board of Trustees authorizes Library staff and law enforcement officers to enforce the Library’s published Code of Conduct policy up to and including the long-term suspension of Library privileges, permanent banning from the Library, or prosecution. The length and terms of removal will be based on the type and degree of harm caused, threatened, or risked; the willfulness of the violation; the persistence of the violation; whether warnings were ignored or defied; and any history of previous violations by the visitor. When practicable, the Library will provide alternative means by which expelled visitors may use Library materials and services, such as by digital/online services and Grab & Go outside pickup service.
A visitor whose privileges have been suspended or revoked may have the decision reviewed by the Library Board of Trustees. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the President of the Board of Trustees at least one week prior to a regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Trustees will review the appeal and notify the individual of its decision in writing. The decision of the Board of Trustees is final.

Internet Use Policy
The Rutherford Public Library (RPL) attempts to provide materials of the highest quality for use by all patrons and recognizes that the Internet provides access to a vast amount of information. The Internet is accessible on Library computers and patrons’ devices in support of the Library’s goals to meet the educational, informational, cultural and recreational needs of its patrons. The following policy and rules have been developed to meet the Library’s mission while respecting the sensibilities of all patrons.
Access
In addition to Library-owned public access computers, RPL offers free wireless Internet connections for Library patrons to use with their own devices. Please note that this policy also applies to wireless users.
The Library does not select the material on the Internet and has no means or statutory authority to assure that only constitutionally protected material is available online. Not all information available via the Internet is accurate, current and complete. The availability of information does not constitute endorsement of the content by the Rutherford Public Library. Users are encouraged to carefully evaluate the validity of information accessed online. Users are cautioned that ideas, points of view and images found on the Internet may be graphic, controversial, inflammatory or offensive. Library computers with Internet access are located in public areas shared by Library users of varying ages, backgrounds and sensibilities. Individuals are required to be considerate about accessing potentially controversial information and images.
Children’s Use
Computers in the Children’s Section are for the use of children through grade six and adults assisting children. Other adults may use the computers in the Children’s Section at the discretion of the staff. The public library, unlike schools, does not serve in loco parentis (in place of a parent). Librarians cannot act in the place of parents providing constant care and supervision of children as they explore the Internet. The responsibility for what minors read or view on the Internet rests with the child’s parents or guardians. The Library does not employ filters to restrict access to any website.
Prohibited Activities
Computers and workstations are located in public areas where patrons of all ages and sensibilities can easily view the screens. Display or transmission of sexually explicit graphics or materials that are obscene, pornographic or harmful to minors is strictly prohibited at the Library. Staff reserves the right to request that a patron exit a website if the staff member judges the material to be inappropriate for public viewing. Child pornography is illegal and will immediately result in police intervention. The Borough of Rutherford and the Rutherford Public Library prohibit acts of harassment, sexual or other forms, against Library patrons and staff as per Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New Jersey Law against Discrimination.
The Library’s Internet resources may not be used to perform any illegal activity, including the deliberate propagation of computer viruses. The Library computers may not be used to seek prohibited access to any other computer system.
Responsibility of Users
Use of any public access computer or network at the Rutherford Public Library constitutes acceptance of this policy and related procedures. RPL reserves the right to terminate the session, evict the patron, or suspend or terminate the Library privileges of anyone who fails to follow the rules for use of Library computers/networks, or whose computer use disrupts Library service or violates Library policies or procedures.
Security and Privacy
Users are cautioned that security in an electronic environment such as the Internet cannot be guaranteed. All transactions, files and communication are vulnerable to unauthorized access and use, and therefore should not be considered confidential. The Library makes no representations, either express or implied, with regard to the confidentiality of the information either being transmitted on the Internet or being received on the Internet by a Library patron. Internet users must respect the privacy of others by not attempting to modify or gain access to files, passwords, or data belonging to others.
Copyright Warning
All rules of copyright and personal property must be honored. Information in the form of text, graphics, music, video, software or other media that is retrieved or utilized electronically should be considered constitutionally protected.
Wireless
Wireless Internet access is available throughout the Library for those who have laptops or other wireless-compatible devices. Login information is available at the front desk and is posted throughout the building. The wireless network is used at your own risk. The Library is not responsible for any damage done to hardware or software configurations.
Rules for Use of Library Computers
- Log into a computer using your BCCLS library card or by obtaining a guest pass from the front desk; promptly give up the computer when your time has elapsed or when requested by staff.
- There is a limit of one guest pass per person each day.
- Abide by the library’s daily time limits for computer usage. For BCCLS library cardholders, initial sessions are 90 minutes. Patrons with guest passes initially receive one hour. If no one is waiting, a 30-minute extension may be granted. Computer sessions in the Children’s Room are limited to one hour for all users.
- You may download files using supported media. The Library is not responsible for damage to your media or for corruption of your data, including damage caused by mechanical malfunction or corruption caused by virus or spyware infection while using library computers.
- The charge for printing from the computers is posted. Please print and pay at the self-service kiosk located in the Computer Lab.
- Respect others’ privacy by not attempting to observe or comment on what others are viewing.
- Close the Internet browser completely and terminate your Envisionware session when you are finished. This helps protect the privacy of your work.
- Do not gather around computers. Doing so may obstruct others or create noise that distracts others.
- Do not misuse computer equipment or software. Any vandalism, destructive behavior or illegal activities may result in police action as well as suspension of library privileges.
This policy is determined by the Library Board of Trustees and is subject to periodic review and/or revision at the discretion of the Board. Appeals may be submitted to the Board in writing.
Adopted by the Rutherford Public Library Board of Trustees: May 10, 2005. Revised June 9, 2009; November 28, 2012; and May 20, 2025.
Privacy is essential to the exercise of free speech, free thought, and free association. In this library the right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one’s interest examined or scrutinized by others. Confidentiality exists when a library is in possession of personally identifiable information about users and keeps that information private on their behalf.
The records of patron use of library resources, materials or services are confidential per the laws of the State of New Jersey1 and in accordance with the American Library Association’s Code of Ethics2. All records concerning library users and materials used or checked out by users are confidential and will not be made available to any agency of the federal, state, county or local government or to any other person unless a court order or search warrant requiring disclosure has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or persons acting within the cope of their duties in the administration of the library.
As a public institution, the Library is legally required to comply with information requests pursuant to the USA Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruction Terrorism Act, P.L. 107-56, Oct 26, 2001). In providing information pursuant to this act or by another court order, the Library shall follow the following procedures.
- Any requests for information regarding a library user are to be referred to the Library Director, or designee, who will explain the Library’s policy and the New Jersey law.
- If the Library staff member is presented with a subpoena, he/she is to refer the presenter to the Library Director/designee, who is to contact the Library’s attorney to verify its validity and advise the Library of what action to take.
- If the Library staff member is presented with a search warrant from a law enforcement officer, he/she is not to interfere with their search and seizure. The staff member is to contact the Library Director, or designee, as soon as possible after a search warrant has been served so that the Director can ask the officer to allow them to consult with legal counsel and to ask that the Library’s counsel be present during the search. Whether or not the law enforcement official agrees to await the arrival of counsel, the Library’s attorney should be contacted. Library staff shall not interfere with a search conducted with a search warrant. A search warrant must be specific as to the information requested. Information outside of the scope of the search warrant should not be released.
Under the USA Patriot Act, the person whose records are subject to a search warrant may not be notified that a search warrant has been served. The Director or the Library’s attorney may be contacted without a violation of the act. Staff shall not inform anyone else of the existence of the search warrant.
In either the case of a subpoena or a search warrant, records shall be kept of all legal requests and all costs incurred by the Library (including additional staff time and replacement of equipment).
The USA Patriot Act permits the FBI to get a search warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to retrieve library usage records of someone who is under investigation of involvement in an ongoing terrorist or intelligence investigation. Please note that the USA Patriot Act requires a search warrant and not a subpoena. A search warrant can be executed immediately upon service. A subpoena, on the other hand, allows a party a period of time to respond to and contest same.
The act absolves all institutions and employees from any liability for releasing personal information in compliance with a FISA search warrant. If a staff member fails to comply with an information request, or if information respecting a search warrant is disclosed other than to the Library Director or the Library’s attorney, the staff member may be subject to being charged with contempt of court.
If any staff member has any questions concerning this policy, he/she should direct their questions to the Library Director. The Library Director, after consulting with the Library’s attorney, will respond to the inquiry.
This policy is determined by the Library Board of Trustees and is subject to periodic review and/or revision at the discretion of the Board. Appeals may be submitted to the Board in writing.

L.1985, c 172, s. 2, eff. May 31, 1985
NOTE: NJ Open Public Records Act does not supersede NJSA 18A:73-43:2
2 American Library Association’s Code of Ethics (1995) Section 3: “We protect each library user’s right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted.
I. Introduction
Service to the public is the primary responsibility of the staff member on duty at the reference desk. All requests for information are to be handled impartially and with confidentiality. Residents and non-residents will receive the same reference services. Our goal is to guide patrons to materials for educational, informational, recreational and cultural purposes as a basic part of reference service. The resources of the reference department are available to all patrons for in-library use during regular library hours. Reference materials may not be checked out.
Objectives
- To direct patrons to appropriate information sources for their reading and interest
- To provide courteous, prompt and accurate answers to patrons’ questions. This may include direct personal assistance, information acquired from a reference source in a text or electronically based.
- To provide advisory assistance for readers.
It is recommended that ALA techniques for reference interviews be followed:
- Greet – in a friendly manner
- Assess – make sure question is understood
- Verify – repeat the question
- Locate – find the information
- Close – make sure patron found what was wanted
II. Overview of types of service
Following is a list of typical reference services provided by the reference staff.
Item Requests
- When a patron seeks a known title, identify the holding libraries.
- When the item is not readily available, give the patron the option of reserving the item, making an inter-library loan request or going directly to a library that has the item available. If appropriate, the patron should be shown how to place an electronic loan request which will be forwarded to the home library to be processed.
- When a patron wishes to go directly to another library for an item, call that library to make sure the item is available, or strongly advise the patron to call. Phone numbers and directions should be offered. It is helpful to print out a copy of the citation with call number for the patron. Remind the patron to bring along a valid library card.
- If a book is not found in the BCCLS system, the library will attempt to request the
item through JerseyCat. There is no guarantee that the requested item will be
available. If the item is available, it may take as long as a month to get the item.
Occasionally, there is a charge for the loan by the lending library. This does not
happen often; however, the patron must agree to pay a charge of up to $10 before
the request is made. - When a patron has a partial or erroneous citation, the librarian should make a
reasonable effort to verify the citation with applicable tools such as the BCCLS
database or other appropriate catalogs.
Ready Reference
- When a patron asks a question of a common “ready reference” nature (easily located within 5 to 10 minutes), identify the proper source in the library and report the information to the patron. As appropriate, common BCCLS databases and the Internet should be used to guide a patron to materials and information. Remind the patron to return for additional assistance if needed.
Telephone Reference
- This service is available during regular library hours for providing brief answers to questions. The reference staff gives priority to in-person requests over telephone requests. When staff is unable to respond to a reference call, the staff is requested to take messages and return calls after patrons who are actually in the library have been helped. If a user comes to the desk while a telephone inquiry is in progress, the person’s presence will be acknowledged and the phone conversation concluded as quickly as possible.
Requests for medical, legal and financial information
- Reference staff will provide information but not advice on these topics. Definitions and descriptions can be given from published sources but will not be interpreted by the librarian. Since timely information in these areas can be crucial, patrons should be advised to consult professionals in a given area rather than rely on print sources exclusively.
Instruction
- Patrons should be aided in the use of print materials and common BCCLS databases including the full text periodicals and newspaper citations.
III. Reference service does not include
- checking a long list of citations
- compiling bibliographies
- checking indexes and bibliographies
- or completing assignments
Requests for extensive research
- If a patron’s research needs require extensive investigation, a fee-based service is available at Newark Public Library where specialists will supply the information needed. This service for in-depth research is also obtainable at The New York Public Library for a fee.
This policy is determined by the Library Board of Trustees and is subject to periodic review and/or revision at the discretion of the Board. Appeals may be submitted to the Board in writing.
Adopted by the Rutherford Public Library Board of Trustees: June 14, 2005
Security Camera Policy
The Rutherford Public Library (hereinafter “Library”) strives to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for its patrons and staff. As such, certain areas of the Library are equipped with security cameras to protect patrons, staff, assets, and property, and to identify persons breaking the law or violating the Library’s Code of Conduct. A sign is posted at the entrance informing the public that security cameras are in use.
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the placement and use of digital video cameras, as well as the access and retrieval of recorded digital video images and still photographs at the Library. Video monitoring and recording will be conducted in a manner consistent with all existing local and applicable laws and ordinances.
Security Camera Locations
Reasonable efforts are made to safeguard the privacy of patrons and employees in the Library. The video security cameras are positioned to record only those areas specified by the Director and will complement other measures to maintain a safe and secure environment in compliance with library policies. Camera locations shall not be changed or added without the permission of the Director.
Cameras may be installed in locations where staff and patrons would not have an expectation of privacy. Examples include common areas of the Library such as the entrance, near book and media collections, public seating, meeting rooms, and anywhere money is exchanged. Cameras will not be installed in areas where staff and patrons have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as restrooms; nor are they positioned to identify a person’s reading, viewing, or listening activities in the Library.
Access to Digital Images
Only the Library Staff will have access to live camera images. Members of the public will not have access to live camera feeds or recordings. If the Director is involved in an incident, the Library Board of Trustees may access the relevant recordings. Otherwise, only the Director and his/her staff designees are authorized to access the recorded archival data in pursuit of incidents of criminal activity, litigation, or violations of the Library’s Code of Conduct. Such persons shall not violate any laws relevant to this policy in performing their duties and functions related to the security camera system.
Use/Disclosure of Video Records
Video records and still photographs may be used by authorized individuals to identify those responsible for policy violations, criminal activity on Library property, or actions considered disruptive to normal Library operations.
Video recordings and still photographs may be shared with Library staff to identify those suspended from Library property and to maintain a safe, secure, and policy-compliant environment.
Under certain circumstances, individuals authorized under this policy may use a still photograph or selected portions of recorded data to request law enforcement review for assessing the security risk of a specific individual or for investigating a crime on Library property.
Law Enforcement Requesting Access to Security Camera Footage
Library staff are required to refer any law enforcement requests for security camera footage or still photographs to the Library Director, or, in their absence, the Library’s Security Guard or an officer of the Board of Trustees. The Library does not make security camera footage or still photographs available to any agency of federal, state, or local government unless a subpoena, warrant, or court order is issued pursuant to law. Before complying with any such requests, legal counsel may be consulted to determine the proper response.
In the event of a search warrant, which is executable immediately, Library Administration will comply with the warrant and consult legal counsel if necessary. Upon receipt of a subpoena or other court order, Library Administration shall consult with legal counsel to determine if the document is in proper form and that good cause for its issuance in a court of proper jurisdiction is demonstrated. If not, Library Administration shall insist any defect be remedied before releasing records that contain patron information.
General Public Requesting Access to Security Camera Footage
Confidentiality/privacy issues prohibit the general public from viewing security camera footage. If a member of the general public wishes to obtain a copy of video footage or still photographs, they should make the request in writing, including a reason why access should be considered, to the Library Director.
Retention of Digital Images
Images from the Library’s security camera system are stored digitally in a secure cloud environment maintained by the Library. Footage is kept confidential, and viewing equipment is housed in an area restricted from public access. Recordings are kept for no longer than thirty (30) days, unless required as part of an ongoing investigation or litigation or deemed of critical import by the Library Director.
Unauthorized Access and/or Disclosure
A breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination, in the case of an employee, or banning, in the case of a member of the public. Any Library employee who becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure of a video record and/or potential privacy breach has a responsibility to immediately inform the Director of same.
Approved by the Rutherford Public Library Board of Trustees on April 15, 2025.
Social Media User Guidelines
These guidelines outline the acceptable use of social media platforms maintained by Rutherford Public Library (“RPL” or “Library”) and its affiliated groups. Such groups include, but are not limited to, departments within the Library, the Friends of the Library of Rutherford, and the Rutherford Public Library Foundation. “Social media platforms” refers to any digital outlet created and maintained by library personnel or volunteers that enables users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
Rutherford Public Library welcomes comments, posts, and messages from the community, and recognizes and respects differences in opinion. However, all comments, posts, and messages are subject to review, and the Library reserves the right to moderate, edit, hide, delete, or close any comment that it deems inappropriate at any time without warning or explanation. Anything that is removed or hidden will be saved as per NJ OPRA requirements, including the date, time, identity of the poster, and why the material was removed. When possible, staff and volunteers are requested to take a screenshot of the content prior to its removal.
Content containing any of the following will be removed immediately from any Library-affiliated social media outlet:
- Posts that violate any laws, library policies, or the library Code of Conduct.
- Personal attacks, insults, threats, or graphic or racist images, remarks, or appeals. Hate speech is prohibited and includes any speech – or endorsement or promotion of speech – that is derogatory toward a group of people based on a protected classification.
- Content that incites violence or constitutes harassment. Harassing comments or postings include profane or obscene statements or images, threatening physical harm toward another person, and engaging in behavior with the sole intent of harassing another person.
- Private, personal, proprietary, or confidential information about any person, organization, or entity without appropriate consent or authority.
- Copyrighted, trademarked, or plagiarized materials shared without consent.
- Commercial posts, links, advertisements, chain letters, or spam.
- Maliciously false comments, including misinformation and comments posted under false identities.
- Duplicate posts or posts unrelated to the purpose of the social media outlet.
The Library reserves the right to ban or block anyone who posts in violation of this policy. All users are expected to abide by the Terms & Conditions set by the social media platform, as well as local, state and federal laws. The Library Director shall make the final decision to ban or block users. A user who has been blocked or banned may have the decision reviewed by the Library Board of Trustees. Appeals must be submitted in writing and will be discussed at the next regularly scheduled business meeting of the Library Board.
The Library reserves the right to report any violation of the Terms of Service to the specific site with the intent that the provider take appropriate and reasonable responsible action. All Library policies are applicable to interactions on social media sites when acting in an official capacity and representing the Library.
Privacy
Social media is a public forum. Users should have no expectation of privacy in postings on Library-sponsored social media sites. By using such sites, users consent to the Library’s right to access, monitor, and read any postings on those sites. Users must understand that social media is permanent, retrievable, and public.
Users of all ages have the responsibility to protect their privacy. The Library does not act in place of, or in the absence of, a parent. RPL recommends that users do not post personally identifying information, such as last name, school, age, phone number, or address on its social media channels.
Third-Party Content
The Library and its affiliates have no connection with any social media advertisements or other material posted by third-party sites or software. RPL is not responsible for the content on the pages of friends, fans, or followers of the Library and its affiliates, and it does not endorse or review content of third-party sites.
RPL does not collect, maintain or otherwise use the personal information stored on any third-party social media site in any way other than to communicate with users on that site.
Approved November 19, 2024.
Rutherford Public Library (hereinafter “Library” or “RPL”) strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment to patrons of all ages and abilities. The Library is a public building open to all, and
staff members are unable to supervise children or dependent persons (individuals of any age who are unable to make decisions about their own safety and wellbeing) when their parents or caregivers are unavailable.
Responsibility for the safety and behavior of minors and dependent persons rests with the individuals’ parent, guardian, or caregiver, not the Library staff. Parents or caregivers should not expect that staff can meet the specific needs of their child or dependent person nor expect that staff will know if a child or dependent person is leaving the building with parents or strangers.
In order to create the safest environment possible, RPL has instituted the following policy:
All children under the age of 9, as well as dependent persons of any age, must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver over the age of 13 at all times when visiting the Library. In the case of children under 9 attending Library programming unchaperoned, a parent or caregiver is encouraged to remain in the building and must be immediately visible when the
child exits the event.
Unaccompanied minors aged 9 and older must know how to contact a parent or caregiver in the event of an emergency. If an emergency arises, RPL staff may attempt to contact the child’s guardian. If contact cannot be made, staff may enlist the assistance of the Rutherford Police Department as needed.
All unaccompanied minors must abide by the Library’s operating hours – including early closings due to inclement weather or other emergencies – and should be picked up prior to closing time. RPL staff will attempt to contact the child’s parent or caregiver if necessary in order to facilitate a safe departure. Staff will make every reasonable effort to make this connection. If contact is unable to be made at closing time, staff may contact the Rutherford Police Department and request that an officer be dispatched to wait with the child and a library staff member until he or she is picked up. The Rutherford Police Department may also attempt to make contact with a parent or guardian.
Serious and ongoing violations of Library policies, including the Unattended Child Policy, may result in further action including, but not limited to, suspension of Library privileges.
