Photography/Filming Policy

Photography/filming in the Library by Patrons

Patrons are welcome to take photographs/film in the building, provided they:

  • Adhere to Library Rules, i.e. they do not violate the rights of other patrons to work safely and undisturbed
  • Respect patrons’ right to privacy in terms of their intellectual pursuits

Those wanting to photograph Archival materials may be referred to the Archivist, for preservation purposes.

Permission from the Library Director or the Assistant Library Director is required for filming for business/entertainment purposes, for example commercials, feature films, or school projects referencing the Library directly.

Patrons must have the consent of each individual photographed or filmed; if they are a minor, their guardian must give consent.

Photography by Library Staff for internal and promotional purposes

Library staff must have the consent of each individual photographed or filmed; if they are a minor, their guardian must give consent (see form). Permission forms will be kept on file in the Director’s Office.
