Thank you to Lisa for introducing a topic that all libraries face and that is legitimate and needs to be addressed. Please remember that it is a best practice on Michlib-l to respond directly (and only) to the original poster when a question is asked.

So, we are having an issue with patrons using the urinal for purposes of depositing number 2 lately. We are trying to come up with wording for a sign. Has anyone else ever had this issue and/or have some ideas for wording? I mean you would think this would be a no brainer, but then again, if you are pooping in a urinal, your brain cells are under question. Sorry for the gross factor, but at least it may give some of you a laugh and a “my day could be a lot worse right now” moment.
