Guidelines for filming or photo shoots:
The Library is a public building, and as such, we welcome members of the news media or other enterprises to photograph or film. If you are interested in using a Library location for filming, or a photo shoot, you will follow these guidelines:
- You must have permission from the location manager or designee, and explain to the manager their entire purpose, and how the footage and/or photos will be used.
- You must work with the location manager to ensure that service to the public is not disrupted. The manager retains the right to interrupt or cease the filming or photo shoot at his or her sole discretion.
- You must obtain consent from any members of the public you photograph or film.
- If you are using the Library's name, logo, or any other component of the Library's brand identity (for example, filming the sign identifying the Library location), you must obtain permission from the Director of Marketing & Communications in addition to the location manager.
- If you require special accommodation, such as after-hours access, or use of the grounds, exteriors, or parking lot, there may be costs associated with that. Depending on the nature of the accommodation, you may need to complete a Special Event/Parking Application and Instructions form (obtained from the location manager) or reserve a meeting room
- Use of the Library interior for filming or a photo shoot is at the location manager's discretion, and the manager retains the right to refuse if they feel the accommodation is not in the best interests of the Library, its users, or staff.
