Smoke free campus follow up
by Jill Porter 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Yesterday, I queried if your library had a smoke free campus, e.g. no smoking anywhere on library grounds, and how enforcement was going. A number of people were interested in the results, so here they are. Four libraries had smoke free campuses; three had restrictions based on the number of feet from the building (25 and 50 ft); one allowed smoking on the grounds as long as the smoke didn't enter the building. Enforcement was also a mixed bag, some having an easier time than others. Suggestions for enforcement success included having signage that people actually read(!) and including e-cigarettes in the policy.
