I see that some libraries have policies prohibiting smoking on library grounds. If you have such a policy, could you please contact me? I'd be interested in knowing how it is working. The idea was briefly mentioned in passing at a recent library board meeting and I would like more information. Many thanks, -- Cathy Carter Benzie Shores District Library Frankfort, MI 49635 231-352-4671 www.benzieshoreslibrary.org
