In accordance with Chapter 692A of Subtitle 1 of Title 16 of the Code of Iowa, the Board of Trustees prohibits a sex offender (defined as a person who is required to be registered in the Iowa Sex Offender Registry) who has been convicted of a sex offense against a minor from being upon or within 300 feet of library property without written permission of the Library director.

The library director may only give written permission to be present upon library property as the result of an affirmative vote at a meeting of the Library Board of Trustees in which a quorum is present.  Those receiving permission will be subject to limitations on their library use.  To be considered by the Board of Trustees, a written letter requesting permission must be received by the Library Director or Board of Trustees President at least 24 hours prior to any regularly scheduled Board of Trustees meeting. 

Persons barred from library property under the law remain entitled to library service. It is the responsibility of the library user to arrange for a courier to select, check out, and return materials to the library through possession of the library user’s card. Such persons may not make use of the library’s homebound delivery service. 

Violations of this policy will be immediately reported to law enforcement and permission to use library services will be rescinded.
