It's a common issue here in the summer. Someone on a walk ties their dog to the light post in front of the library while they run in real quick for a book or a movie. It's also sadly common that someone will not be brief in their visit and the dog becomes a concern for several reasons. - What if the dog bites someone? - What if someone hurts the dog? - What about our patrons with dog fear that won't/can't walk past a dog to come into the library? - What about the welfare of the dog being tied in front of the building - heat/cold, shelter, lack of shade, etc. Does anyone have a formal policy on this you'd be willing to share to the group?
