At the Director's discretion, co-workers may or may not be advised of the gun on premises. Knives or other bladed weapons with blades over 4 inches are not appropriate in the workplace. Other types of weapons not specified here but capable of harming others should be brought to the director's attention ahead of time to receive approval. This policy should extend to patrons as well as staff. Restricting unauthorized visitors helps maintain safety standards, protects against theft, ensures security of equipment, protects confidential information, safeguards employee welfare, and avoids potential distractions and disturbances.
Employees are responsible for the safety and conduct of their guests.
Any unauthorized guests should be reported to a supervisor immediately. Guests may not interfere with a staff member's job responsibilities. Guests should behave within the same rules of conduct as any other patron visiting the library. It is the staff person's responsibility to maintain the standards of the library, even if they must correct or chasten a co-worker's guest. Guests should not be in non-public areas unless attended by their host.
