The Marin County Board of Supervisors determines the rules for public behavior in the Marin County Free Library branches. These guidelines protect Library users, staff and materials. The Library reserves the right to exclude a patron from its branch libraries if the patron violates the Public Use Computer Policy, damages Library property, injures other Library patrons or staff, or disrupts Library business.

Thank you.
