Confidentiality of Patron Records

The Board of Trustees of the Glen Ridge Public Library believes that it is the basic right of every individual to have access to any information he or she wishes without fear of censure or legal consequence.
It also affirms the right of every person to privacy. Library employees and officers will do all within their power to protect each user's right to privacy with respect to all information required for registration and for information sought or received, and materials consulted, borrowed or acquired.
Library employees shall respect the privacy of Library users and only discuss personal information with the individual user, or, in the case of minor children, the parent or guardian responsible for Library materials borrowed or used by that minor child. An individual’s use of a public computer in the Library shall be afforded the same privacy as materials owned by the Library.
Records required for registration, materials consulted, borrowed or acquired will not be made available to any individual, organization or government agency except pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:73-43.2 which reads: “Library records which contain the names or other personally identifying details regarding the users of libraries are confidential and shall not be disclosed except in the following circumstances:
The records are necessary for the proper operation of the Library; or
a.       Disclosure is requested by the user; or
b.       Disclosure is required pursuant to a subpoena issued by a court or court order.
 
L.1985, c 172, s. 2, eff. May 31, 1985
NOTE: NJ Open Public Records Act does not supersede NJSA 18A:73-43:2
