Hello!

 

Do you often find yourself wondering about library law questions? Questions like:

 

If a library has an employee whose birthday falls on a leap year (Born February 29, 2008), and the employee has been alive for 17 years, but has had only 4 birthdays (leap years 2012,2016,2020,2024). How would that staff member be treated under the Youth Employment Standards Act (YESA)?

 

If a library has outdoor foliage, would the library be liable if a volunteering girl scout troop did a Spring clean up on the library grounds and there was a mass Poison Ivy event?

 

Come talk about these issues and more at the Library Law Office Hours TODAY, Thursday May 15, 2025 @ 3:00pm.

Registration is required beforehand  https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYqdO6uqD8pEt31yRiFFRZkHDc96mWbdidT#/registration

 

I hope to see you soon!
