The Allegan District Library reserves the right to utilize photographs or video taken at the library for publicity purposes in print and online publications. The library is a public place, therefore, all library patrons consent to the use of their photo taken at the library or during library events unless they specifically inform staff of an objection to such use. No names will be utilized in conjunction with photographs without express written consent.
