Supervised Visits
by Marla Drury 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

Hi all, Our library has been seeing a big increase in the number of supervised visits we've been getting. While we're happy to provide space for the families to be able to see each other, it is beginning to be a burden to staff and stressful for our other patrons. We've been having several patron complaints while the visits are occurring, and our children's area is often left in shambles because they don't clean up when they go. Does any library have a specific policy regarding supervised visits? Do you have any recommendations on how we can discuss behavioral issues with this group? It's already a delicate situation for the parents and we don't want to add more stress, but we also need to respect the other patrons we have during these times. Thanks! Signature
