The following are rules and regulations of the Potsdam Public Library.
These are effective August 8, 2007 as adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Potsdam Public Library.
This Library prohibits
unreasonable discrimination in the provision of services and in any
aspect of employment in hiring, training, promotion and termination

Discrimination is differential treatment of an individual based upon his/her membership
in a particular group ( real or perceived), rather than on personal
merit. One form that discrimination may take is harassment. Discrimination
also includes the failure to reasonably accommodate the special needs

hardship for the library. Unreasonable discrimination is prohibited
on the basis of the following characteristics:
- Ancestry and perceived race;
- nationality or national origin;
- ethnic background or origin;
- religion or creed, or religious belief, religious
association or religious activity;
- age;
- sex, including pregnancy, the possibility of
pregnancy, or circumstances related to pregnancy;
- gender-determined characteristics;
- sexual orientation;
- marital or family status political
belief, political association or political activity;
- physical disability or related
characteristics or circumstances, including reliance on a dog guide
or other animal assistant, a wheelchair, or other remedial appliance
or device.
The library will ensure that all people are employed and/or receive services
without discrimination, including harassment.
If you believe you
have been discriminated against, bring it to the attention of the
Library Director or the Board President. Your complaint will be kept
as confidential as is possible and will be dealt with promptly. |
