Commissioners are asked to review and provide feedback on the draft <br />policy, guided by their insights on the community's needs. The final draft policy will be <br />presented to the Library Commission in Spring 2025 for a recommendation to the City Council. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Developing a new privacy policy to protect patron information and data and provide clear <br />guidelines on data usage allows the library to ensure that no group is disproportionately <br />surveilled or marginalized.
