[Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library building- no results

[Mimi Herrington]

Most of our calls have to do with parents calling to tell their kids to go 
home.  We do not hand the phone over to the patron; we relay a message from 
the caller.  We don't have a policy on the issue.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Question re: patron privacy within the library 
building- no results

Last week I posted a question to Michlib, asking how libraries respond
to callers who want to know if a certain person is in the building.   I
received many requests to share the results of my post from librarians
who had the same question!  I received just one response, from a
university library, whose librarians tell the caller that the library
does not provide a messaging or paging service.   I didn't hear from any
libraries who had inserted language governing the privacy of patrons who
are using the facility into their patron privacy policy.
