"Please refrain from inappropriate displays of affection including hugging, kissing, touching with implication of sexual conduct" We enforce it with adults and kids- we try and distinguish between a peck on the cheek and the holding of hands vs people sitting on each others laps and making out. Still a tough balance to walk. MPM On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 1:05 PM, BEL Britney Dillon via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
Do you have a "public affection" policy? If not, it's a questionable act to stop the teens from doing it just because they're teens... Age discrimination, and all.

Dear Directors,
Yes, I got the responses on teen behavior in he library, but the question I have is about personal contact. I have two teens in love and they meet at the library everyday. What kind of personal contact should be permitted, hand holding??? I caught them kissing and put a stop to that.
