SCLD Policies / Confidentiality of Customer Information Policy


As permitted by RCW 42.56.310, Library Records, it is the policy of Spokane County Library District that any library record, the primary purpose of which is to maintain control of library materials, or to gain access to information, which discloses or could be used to disclose the identity of a library user, is exempt from public inspection and copying.


For purposes of this policy, such library records include but are not limited to registration records, circulation records, materials request lists, financial information, and computer booking records. Public inspection and copying also includes any requests, oral or written, for information contained in these records.


Without permission of the library user, the District will not release exempt library records to any individual, organization, or to any agency of federal, state, or local government except pursuant to a valid court order under applicable state or federal law.


The Library Director is responsible for establishing administrative procedures necessary to carry out this policy.
