[Michlib-l] Library Law Office Hours TODAY! 3:00pm ET

[Membiela, Clare (MDE)]

Hello!


If your library is struggling with questions like:


Can a library be liable for "intentional affliction of emotional distress" because a child inadvertently discovered  the truth about Santa from a book in the youth collection?

Or

Does an "Elf on the Shelf" placed at the service desk qualify as a  "deterrence"  element  of the library's "security system" for purposes of compliance with the MiOSHA "General Duty" standard?
If so,
does the placement require notice to the employees that they are being "watched?"

Join the Library Law Office Hours at 3:00pm, ET  TODAY, December 19, 2024.
