Policies and Procedures: Public Address System Policy

ID# PL_247

The public address system in the King Library is used only for Library opening and closing announcements or for emergency instructions.

There will be absolutely no paging of customers, announcement of programs, or other incidental uses of this system.

To ensure that disruptive noise and arbitrary use of the public address system are avoided, the policy regulates acceptable use.

Use of the PA system for emergencies includes:

• A building evacuation.
• A medical or building emergency to clear the way for emergency personnel such as paramedics or fire fighters.
• Missing children based upon the circumstances of each incident.
