Privacy
Contact information provided when applying for a library card is used solely to notify patrons of holds and overdue materials, or other library matters related directly to the user’s account. The Library does not engage in mass mailing, emailing or telephone contact of any library users without their expressed permission, such as Newsletter subscriptions.
Florida Statute prohibits staff from releasing any information about library card holders — including what materials are checked out or overdue and personal information such as telephone numbers and addresses — to anyone other than to the specific library card holder. (Florida Statute 257.261).
If you misplace, or lose your card, library staff will not disclose your card number to you via phone or email requests for your own security.
