Section 7: Patron Prizes & Awards

Occasionally, the library will host programs and events that include prizes to encourage our patrons to participate. The library may choose to purchase gifts or gift cards for these purposes.

When a gift card is purchased, it will be locked in a file in the fiscal officer’s office until it is given to the patron. Those who are awarded gift cards as a prize will be recorded and the list will be kept with the gift card receipt as a record.

When a prize with a value that exceeds $50 is given, the winner’s name will be recorded and kept with the receipt as a record as well.

Any gifts of this type (gifts or gift cards) that are donated to the library will not be required to have a record of who was awarded the gift.

Library employees and immediate family members of library employees are not eligible to win prizes awarded by and paid for with library funds.
