[Michlib-l] Library code of conduct- implementation questions

[Kathleen Monroe]

In Livonia we have them posted in several locations throughout the building.  We make a judgement call per the individual situation in terms of if we issue a warning or take other more serious action.  Each situation is unique, but the guidelines are there to point to to help us deal with infractions as they happen.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Library code of conduct- implementation questions





Hello all! 

  

I am working on a draft for a Library Code of Conduct. I have found lots of information to generate a draft for our library. However, I do have some questions regarding implementation for those libraries that have posted codes. 

  

-         How is the code of conduct communicated to patrons? Is it somewhere visible or only available online? 

-         How are violations handled? 

-         Any other best practice recommendations as we begin the process of implementing a formal code of conduct? Is there something you wish you could change about your current code, or something you feel is a challenge? 

  

You can reply to me on or off list, and if others are interested I would be happy to digest and report my findings. 

  

  

Thanks so much,
