Non-Resident fees
by Sylvia Merz 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Those who charge non-resident fees, would you please what method you use to determine this. Our Township Board is urging us to charge usage fees for the non-residents to use any of our services, even the public computers so I am charged with identifying everyone who walks in the door. Hope you can help. Thanks. Sylvia Merz, Director Leland Township Library 203 E. Cedar St., P.O. Box 736 Leland, MI 49654-0736 PH: 231-256-9152 FAX: 231-256-8847 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday - 10 to 5 Wednesday-10 to 6 Saturday-10 to 2 lelandlibrary.org cid:image001.jpg@01CE99C7.13A1DE40

Harassment outside of library property
by Andrea Estelle 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi All - Here's a weird question for this Friday afternoon- Does anyone have a policy in place to protect their library from harassment outside of library property? My example is - what if someone is filing multiple complaints against the library - written complaints to the library board, to the Civil Rights Dept. of Michigan, to local legislators, to the police department. Freedom of speech would make a policy like this difficult but multiple attacks from one person against the library outside of library walls to other local officials does feel like harassment towards the library. If you do have such a policy could you share it with me? Or if you have experience with an individual like this and could share with me, could you possibly call me sometime next week? Thanks!
