Yakima does not provide special privileges to spouses.  They do have the ability to register as community patrons which allows them to check out books but does not provide remote access to subscription services.  We do not charge community patrons anything.

I do think there might be a licensing issue if you give non-employee spouses access to subscription services.  I suppose that could also be considered gifting of public funds.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Employee spousal library privileges

Hi all,

Years ago, the library routinely granted library privileges to spouses of college employees.  I realized recently, when asked, that the library policy around spousal library privileges has gone away.  I have a college employee whose spouse would like to use the library.

Do you allow spouses to use the library with their own card without charge?  Do spouses use their spouses’ college employee ID card for borrowing materials and accessing the databases WITH your knowledge?

My HR Department has raised the issue of “gifting of public funds.”  We charge the general public $5/quarter for library privileges that do NOT include access off-site to databases.  Do you think making library privileges available to employee spouses would violate the prohibition against gifting of public funds, especially because of remote database access?

Thank you!

Mindy
