Hello, Would any library be willing to share their formal policy regarding supervised visits with parents and social workers? Thank you! Barbara Wallace, MLS Director 269.695.1911 color logo
Barb, Would you be willing to share what you hear. We do not have any policy and would *never* consider having such a policy, but I would be interested to hear what other people have to say. We have a lot of supervised visitations. The people are often disruptive and they "make themselves at home" in ways that make us uncomfortable. But that is the joy of being a *public* library :) NS Nancy Studebaker, Director Niles District Library 620 E Main Niles, MI 49120 Phone 269 683 8545 x122 Fax 269 683 0075 Cell 269 277 0127 www.nileslibrary.com On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 4:13 PM, Barbara Wallace < b.wallace@buchananlibrary.com> wrote:

Hi Barbara -- We don't have a policy regarding supervised visits. We talked about it several months ago when it was discussed on MichLib-L previously, but determined as a public entity they can meet here just like anyone else who chooses to walk through the door. As Nancy mentioned they do get a bit unruly at times but we just address that with our general conduct policy, not separately.
