Patron Problem
by stephanie daniels 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Dear Library Directors, Can you ban a patron from using the library. This is a person who has PTSD and says that the government is watching him. He says that he is discriminated against by everyone and wears a sign on his back saying stop discrimination. When he is in the library everyone is uneasy including other patrons. Regards,S. DanielsHartford Public Library

White Noise
by Lori Mills 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hello, Has anybody purchased a white noise system for their library? If so, would you please share your vendor information? The last library I worked at purchased a system from Muzak in Novi, but they appear to have gone out of business. The library I work at now is filled with echo chambers, where you can hear people talking across the room and even through the walls! Thank you! Lori Mills
