Filming/Photography Guidelines
- Anyone not affiliated with the filming or photography staff must provide their consent prior to being recorded or photographed. Please honor the wishes of those who do not grant permission. For anyone under the age of 18, consent must be obtained from a parent or guardian.
- Respect library spaces and furniture. Please do not move or remove items including furniture without prior permission.
