Should we focus on the pajama pants, or be happy they are using the library instead of going elsewhere? Cathleen Russ, Library Director Troy Public Library 510 W.

What about girls in yoga pants/leggings? Then there's the grandma in a miniskirt.... Point is, there's no accounting for taste, but a public building is not a fine dining establishment. If these people are not embarrassed to go out in public in their pajamas, it may be a sign of the downfall of society, but does it really effect staff's ability to give good public service? ------------------ Donna Winter, Automation Services Librarian Livonia Civic Center Library 32777 Five Mile Road Livonia, MI 48154 ph: 734-466-2675 ________________________________ From: "Mike Evans" <mevans@hastingspubliclibrary.com<mailto:mevans@hastingspubliclibrary.com>> To: "Kay Hurd" <khurd@adlmi.org<mailto:khurd@adlmi.org>>, "Lois Hartman" <lrhartman8@yahoo.com<mailto:lrhartman8@yahoo.com>> Cc: "michlib-l (michlib-l@lists.mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@lists.mcls.org>)" <michlib-l@mail.mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@mail.mcls.org>> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 2:10:17 PM Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] pajamas in the library Hey, I have an idea, you know how they have a “People of Walmart” website….

Not for a special program, they just are out and about in their pjs. I searched online this weekend for policies dealing with this, but found nothing. If you have a policy that addresses this issue, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you! Phyllis ------ Phyllis Rickard Director North Adams Community Memorial Library 110 E.
