Background Check

Kent District Library (KDL) is committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for our community. As part of this commitment, KDL conducts criminal background checks through the Michigan State Police ICHAT system. The information you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose.

KDL does not permit individuals to present who have been convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanor offenses, including assault, child abuse, criminal sexual conduct, weapons violations, or drug-related offenses under Michigan law (Article 7 of the Michigan Public Health Code, MCL 333.7101 et seq.), or any other unlawful use, possession, or sale of drugs or controlled substances.

All other convictions or pending charges will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by Human Resources, with final decisions made by the Library Director.

Note for Presenters Residing Outside Michigan: If you reside outside the state of Michigan, you will receive a secure link to complete your background check through Checkr, our national screening partner.

All background verification information obtained will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. This information will only be shared with designated KDL personnel or legal counsel who have a legitimate need to know.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure a safe and inclusive space for all.
