Product Description
From making sure there is adequate lighting in the parking lot to understanding what actions can be taken to keep books and materials from being stolen, librarians involved with the physical plant need to know how to practice defensive law, protect themselves against negligence, and resolve disputes. Using many practical examples, Library Facilities and the Law covers all the basics, including the historical and legal background of the law relating to the subject; safety and how to avoid being negligent; handling use of meeting rooms; maintenance agreements and contracts for repairs; opening and closing the library; security issues; restrooms; and the grounds. Warnings about -- and remedies for -- potential pitfalls, model policies, checklists, and sample forms are included throughout.
