Social Media Policy
Laramie County Library System offers blogs, community reviews, patron comments, and other social media tools as a way to achieve our mission statement.

Comments may be moderated by library employees and the library reserves the right to remove comments that are unlawful or do not comply with the library’s Code of Conduct or policies.
