She will be reinforcing his with the entire team at an upcoming staff meeting. The library has an ongoing issue with food and drinks being brought into the library. The library is not only worried about spills, but more worried about insects looking for scraps, so we try to address this issue as soon as we see it. I understand you weren't eating and know to take your food down to the café, others could see your food out and mistakenly believe it is ok to have. If you need to bring food in closed containers, please keep it stowed. A patron complimented Hallie Fields, Teen Services Librarian, as she was helpful and wanted to thank her. The response thanked him for his phone call and she is glad Hallie was able to help him. The library is happy she came on board. Two patrons were sitting in the library when another patron sat at their table and started making racist remarks to them and using foul language. They asked that the library stop the gentleman to come back to the library so this doesn't happen to others. Director Chisaki responded and apologized for their uncomfortable experience and that behavior has no place at our library. Staff will try to be more vigilant when this gentleman comes in. The library has a Behavior Policy and when anyone violates the policy and staff is alerted to the situation, staff is authorized to ask an individual to leave the library. If the situation cannot be resolved with suspending library visits, then additional legal action may be taken. It can be difficult to stop an individual from coming into a public building, but we try our best. Unless the staff sees or hears the interaction themselves, you or other members of the public need to notify the staff so they can take the appropriate action.
