Hoboken Public Library
Suspension Policy

Library users who do not abide by the Library Code of Conduct can be asked to leave the library premises and can temporarily lose their library privileges. Law enforcement may also be notified in situations that merit it.

Conditions of the Suspension

If a patron is suspended from accessing library services and facilities, that patron may not enter the library during the term of their suspension. If the suspended patron does enter the library, they will be asked to leave and escorted out by security staff. If the patron refuses to leave, the police will be contacted.

If a patron is suspended from using the computers, they will not be allowed access to the library’s public computers for the duration of the suspension.

Appealing a Suspension

If a patron or their parent, guardian, or caregiver wishes to appeal a suspension, they must contact the library director to arrange for an appeal.
