Food Policy

The Orland Park Public Library recognizes that reactions of individuals to food allergies may result in serious medical conditions. The library also acknowledges that individuals have dietary restrictions due to cultural, religious and/or medical reasons. In the course of offering programs and services at the library, food may be served.

Patrons who have restricted diets and allergies are responsible for monitoring their own dietary needs. Parents, guardians, and/or custodial caregivers of minors attending library functions are responsible for their children's dietary needs.

The library will endeavor to post a proposed menu of refreshments forty-eight hours prior to the program in the building and on the website. The library does not monitor food brought in by outside groups utilizing our facility.
