Confidentiality, Open Records, and Open Meetings

 

 

Confidentiality:

 

It is the policy of the Bullitt County Public Library to protect as far as possible the privacy of all library patrons and to make no inquiry into the purposes for which a patron requests information or materials. Records which may be required in controlling the use of materials either on or off the premises of the library are for the sole purpose of protecting public property and such records are not used directly or indirectly to identify the kinds of materials used by individual library patrons, except insofar as the library may be helpful to such a patron in finding  requested information.

 

Confidential patron records can only be made available to third parties with the appropriate court order or in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Federal Government.

 

 

 

Open Records:

 

Records are available for inspection during library hours only. If the records to be inspected are from a prior fiscal year, a waiting period may be required in order to retrieve the records requested.  The library will charge $0.10 per photocopy.

 

Open Meetings:

 

The Bullitt County Public Library complies with the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Open Meetings Law (KRS 61.884) and its amendments.

 

All library governance meetings will be open to the public, publicized in accordance with the law, and held at a time and place convenient for the public to attend
