What this means is that you put up signage, and perhaps a statement on your website, that states that photos taken at programs or on library pwremises may be used in promotional materials and give patrons the opportunity to say that they are not okay with that. When doing online photos, I would take it one step further, however, and make sure not to identify anyone without their written consent. I know that when we have library events and the newspaper takes pictures they will sometimes ask an individual their name to put with the photo, other times they simply do large group shots.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Below is a good example of an opt out policy:</span></div><div><span><a

I was wondering if anyone knows whether photo permission slips are necessary when posting library event pictures on Facebook.
