CALS Implements Changes in Confidentiality Act

In accordance with changes in the Arkansas Library Confidentiality Act 757 of the General Assembly, which amended Arkansas Code 13-2-704, Central Arkansas Library System patrons aged 18 and older can appoint a designee for the purpose of picking up items placed on hold by the cardholder, or for viewing and paying the cardholder's fines. Changes in the law take effect July 31, 2009.

Current cardholders should visit their local branch to complete the form to add the information to their library record. New applicants can make this designation on the library card registration form.
