[Michlib-l] Smoking: Designated Smoking Area, Smoking Shelter or Smoke Free Campus

We're discussing our library's smoking policy. We have a designated smoking
area, but staff spend a disproportionate amount of time directing our
smoking patrons to this location... they prefer to huddle at the top of the
library stairs hanging out of the wind/precip. Can't say that I blame
them...but it makes other patrons upset and the smoke gets sucked into the
building when doors are opened. It is becoming a hassle...

Curious if any of you have an outdoor smoking shelter on your library
property. Does a shelter from the elements encourage folks to use it more?
Other Pros/Cons

We're also discussing going to a smoke free campus. For those of you with a
smoke free campus, Pros/Cons?

Thanks all!
Andrea
