Hi Kat,My understanding is this comes down to the library's policy. My policy states that petitioners must keep themselves at least 50 feet from the library's doors. The idea is that the library should remain neutral in the political process, being careful not to appear to endorse any point-of-view and that petitioners should not interfere with customers quiet enjoyment of the library or their right to privacy. I've attached Harrison's policy to this email for reference.BTW, I know you were interim for an extended period of time. Congratulations on being named director...you deserve it!

Someone asked me "Are circulators of ballot-initiative petitions permitted" at the library. I am not sure how to answer her. Does anyone have any experience with this? Apparently it is a non-partisan group looking to amend Michigan's Constitution as it relates to redistricting. Thanks in advance!
