Patrons and staff have the right
to enjoy an environment free from harassment or lewd conduct. Anyone,
including patrons, who harasses staff or another patron will be asked
to leave the Library and a report will be filed with the director.
Repeated acts of harassment or acts that may escalate into violent or
illegal actions will be reported to the proper authorities.
Lewd acts or
sexual misconduct is not appropriate in the Library. Those who commit
minor acts, such as teenagers who “make out” in the Library, will be
given one warning and then asked to leave. Serious acts and acts
involving minors will be reported to the proper authorities. All
serious acts will be reported to the director.
