Rule

Rule 6: Soliciting, petitioning, canvassing or distributing written materials inside a library building, including the doorway or vestibule of any such library building or in a manner on the library premises that unreasonably interferes with or impedes access to the library.

Guidelines

Patrons who violate this rule are given up to one warning at the discretion of staff and then excluded for the day. If possible, warnings should include the caution that if the behavior is repeated, the patron will be asked to leave.

Further violations will lead to a one-week, one-month, three-month, six-month, nine-month and one-year exclusion.

Guidance for interacting with petitioners or solicitors can be found on the library commons in the daily operations manual.
