Connect to Learn After-Hours Access

By opting into after-hours access, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms of acceptable use: 

• I will use my own membership card to gain entry to The Knowledge and Learning Hub - Te Huinga Wai (The Hub) for me and any guest I bring in outside of staffed hours. 
• I am permitted to bring one guest with me on their first visit to The Hub outside of staffed hours, however if they wish to use the space regularly, they are expected to register for After-Hours Access.  
• I will be responsible for my own actions and behaviors and for any guests I bring in. 
• I will not grant access to any person trying to enter The Hub (including those who say they have authority to enter), unless they are my guests who I assume responsibility for.  
• I am aware that Library, Council or contracted staff (including cleaners) may be present in The Hub during non-staffed hours however they cannot provide customer service. 
• If I am in The Hub before public closing time, I understand that I (and any guests I have with me) must leave and re-enter using the After-Hours Access entrance control to let the system know I am inside. (Do we need this with the buffer notice below included).  
• Security cameras monitor the use of The Hub as per Council’s health and safety and security requirements
• Announcements may be made over the PA system and on some digital signage screens during After-Hours Access non-staffed access, and I agree to comply with instructions and directives contained in the announcements. This includes notifications to exit the building as unstaffed hours are ending. Details of these announcements will be outlined during your orientation.  
• I agree to comply with all Library terms, conditions and policies, which I acknowledge are in effect during After-Hours Access extended hours, including but not limited to the Membership Conditions & Privacy Statement and Internet Public Access policy, and Meeting Room terms and conditions. These can all be found and reviewed here: Terms and Conditions  
• Violations of the above may result in the loss of my After-Hours Access privileges, as well as fines and legal consequences. I agree that I am responsible for any injuries or damage to Library property or equipment caused by myself or any guest I bring in. I agree that I am fully liable for, and indemnify Central Hawke’s Bay District Libraries and the Council against, all damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Central Hawke’s Bay District Libraries and/or the Council, caused or contributed to by myself or any guests I bring into The Hub. 
• I acknowledge that Library Staff can revoke my After-Hours Access at any time, entirely at their discretion.
