Personal capture of the space cannot affect or impede the public use of the building, and as such, we have the following rules:
We strongly advise against capturing any patrons on our premises without their permission. This includes news media that must secure their own permission and releases as required. If the Library receives complaints around a visual capture on-site, the offending party may be asked to leave.
The Library will post filming notices when capturing events, programs, etc. in the space. Third parties cannot use this signage to cover their own duty to secure releases.

The use of tripods, lighting equipment, and drones is not allowed. Photography sessions must not interfere with public access or use of Library spaces.
