[Michlib-l] Supervised visits policies

[Nancy Studebaker]

Policies for this specific group of patrons seems like a bad idea.  Anytime
you are writing policy you have to be very careful about targeting specific
people.  The only differentiations I can think of that we have (and are
commonly made) is children vs adults and non-profit vs for-profit
entities.  I can't see how are they really different from everyone else
other or our expectations of them would be any different.
