Marathon County Public Library Photo/Video Release Policy
People visiting the Marathon County Public Library, participating in programs or using
our resources may be photographed or recorded by the media, library staff members
and/or volunteers involved with the library. These photographs and recordings may
appear without compensation on the Marathon County Library website, in library
publications, on social media pages, in the media and other printed or electronic
materials related to the role and function of the Marathon County Public Library. No
written consent is needed. Verbal consent is solicited as a goodwill gesture but is not
required. Those who do not want their photograph taken should notify library
staff/volunteers.
Library staff/volunteers should adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Taking photographs and recordings of library activities is encouraged.
2. No permission is needed to take photos or recordings of crowds using the library
or attending programs.
3. If practical while photographing or recording one adult or a small group (three
people or fewer), first ask if they mind having their photo taken or being recorded.
Let the patron(s) know the photograph or recording may be used in library
publications, on the library website, on social media or in media coverage.
4. If practical while photographing or recording one child or a small group (three
children or fewer), get parental or guardian consent before taking the photo or
recording. Let the parent or guardian know that the photograph or recording may
be used in library publications, on the library website, on social media or in media
