Lane Public Library specifically recognizes that its circulation records and other records identifying the name of library users with specific materials are confidential in nature. No such records shall be made available to any agency of state, federal or local government, or to any individual not specifically authorized by the Director for legitimate business purposes, except pursuant to such process, order, or subpoena as may be authorized under the authority of, and pursuant to, federal, state or local laws relating to civil, criminal, or administrative discovery procedures or legislative investigatory power.

Upon receipt of such process, order, or subpoena, the library's officers will consult with their legal counsel to determine if such process, order, or subpoena is in proper form and if there is a showing of good cause for its issuance in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the process, order, or subpoena is not in proper form or if good cause has not been shown, the library will insist that such defect be cured.

Adopted by the Lane Public Library Board of Trustees on February 14, 1983, based on powers vested in the Board in the Ohio Revised Code 3375.40 and pursuant to the recommendations of the Council of the American Library Association and the Board of Directors of the Ohio Library Association.
