Re: [Michlib-l] pajamas in the library
Well, I for one kind of enjoyed the pajama talk. Glad it's over but it was a diversion.

I think we should discuss if they come in wearing pjs and carrying a cat that they want to become a library cat

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. Big Beaver Road Troy, MI 48084 248.524.3544 C.Russ@troymi.gov

Do you also tell young men they can't wear their jeans around their knees? 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?

Hello all, How do you address the issue of adults wearing their pjs to the library? 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
