Social Media Policy Question
by Kelly Bennett 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi all, We're putting together our social media policy and we were wondering if any of you have a line in your policy about patron requests for the removal of photos containing their image or the image of their children. I'm assuming there's no reason not to put something in the policy stating that we would honor requests for photo removal, but our board was interested in hearing other libraries' policies. Feel free to respond off-list. Thanks, Kelly Bennett Head of Circulation, Ferndale Area District Library 248-546-2504
