JACKSON, Wyo. — A public comment period has opened for two proposed Teton County Library policies regarding study rooms and meeting spaces.

The comment period will remain open until Friday, Oct. 14.

At the August Library Board meeting, Library Director Kip Roberson recommended creating two separate policies – one for larger meeting room spaces (Ordway Auditorium, Learning Lab and Alta Community Room) and one for the study rooms (all located in the Jackson Main Library).

The two policies will replace the Library’s current Meeting Room Policy, to provide clear rules for how the various meeting spaces and study rooms are to be used by the public, and allow for public use of the Alta Community Room. The proposed Meeting Spaces Policy will also allow for after-hours use of the Ordway Auditorium and the Alta Community Room. 

Any changes or additions to library policy require a public comment period ahead of approval by the Library Board and then implementation by staff. Feedback, comments, ideas and concerns can be submitted via email to board@tclib.org or mailed to the Teton County Library Board of Directors at P.O. Box 1629, Jackson, WY, 83001. 

Proposed policies can be found online and posted in person at the Jackson Main Library and Alta Branch Library. Community members are offered a final opportunity to share their comments in person or via Zoom at the Library Board meeting on Thursday, Oct. 20 at 9 a.m.
