We have worked with disruptive youth and had success with enforcing bans from *Library property* (inside and out) for a week,months or multiple months. And yes, we involved the police.

With the resounding replies of call the police, and a few others, such as hiring a security officer, I think the advice will be very useful!
Thank you all!

We're dealing with nearly daily fights (outside but on library property). How do/would you handle such situations?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
