New Berlin Library 

Social Media Policy 

The Library provides access to our Social Media for community use per request to the new Berlin Library director. Posting of notices does not indicate library endorsement of the ideas, issues or events promoted by those notices. 

• The Library social media is to be used for the posting of notices of: a) Library business or activities and b) Public service items of educational or cultural interest to the community. c) Non-profit organizational announcements 

• Only one notice per non-library event or issue is permitted. 

• The library assumes no responsibility for the preservation or protection of any materials posted. 

• In fairness to the numerous community groups, the library may control the frequency with which notices may be posted by the same organization. 

• The Library social media is not to be used for advertising or for commercial notices. 

• Posting information of illegal or criminal nature or that violates the library’s rules of conduct is prohibited. 

• Notices posted that do not comply with library bulletin board policy will not be approved. 

• 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.
