[Michlib-l] Teen Behavior

[David Conklin]

Kissing...probably not.  Making out...probably.

Are we talking PDA policies now?!?  LOL

A good patron code of conduct policy should address this.

GDL has the following two sections that address this:

"Patrons may not disturb others in any manner. Patrons may not behave in a rowdy manner,
stare at another person, follow another person about the building, play audio equipment so that
others can hear it, sing or talk loudly, use profane or abusive language, or behave in any manner
that can reasonably be expected to disturb others."

"Patrons may not display materials or make verbal comments or gestures that might reasonably
be expected to offend or harass others."

Good luck.

Dear Directors,

Yes, I got the responses on teen behavior in he library, but the question I have is about personal contact. I have two teens in love and they meet at the library everyday. What kind of personal contact should be permitted, hand holding??? I caught them kissing and put a stop to that.
