It is the policy of the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library Board of Trustees to abide by the procedures authorized by the Indiana code and recommended by the State Board of Accounts as set out in the Accounting and Uniform Compliance Guidelines Manual for Libraries Chapter 9 Revised 1997 for the investing and deposit of Library monies.
Adopted 9-8-98
Should a North Judson and/or a Wayne Township resident patron be unable to get into the library because they are housebound, a member of the staff will gather the desired materials and either place them on reserve until a friend/relative can pick them up or deliver them to the home of the patron when time permits.
If a candidate for employment has a physical handicap which would require the use of specialized equipment to allow them to perform their duties, the Library will supply, if feasible, required job related materials. The Library is not obligated to provide employees with eyeglasses, hearing aids, canes, crutches, braces, or other personal items needed outside of their Library work.
Adopted 1/13/98

Eligible staff members will be responsible for providing all enrollment information required by the insurance carrier for the Town of North Judson. After 30 calendar days of full-time employment, the employee has 30 calendar days in which to complete enrollment forms and have them accepted by the insurance carrier.
Open enrollment for dental and short term disability occur on June 1st of each calendar year. Health open enrollment starts May 15th. There is a 30 calendar day period in which to complete enrollment forms and have them accepted by the insurance carrier.
