The San Francisco Public Library Revises Its Code of Conduct

S.F. library proposes new code of conduct with penalties. (SFGate, 3/13/2014)

Looking at the bright side.   Behavior at the Main Library is getting better overall, library staff points out. Since late last year, the library has hired seven extra security staff members, and more police officers are patrolling the building as well. There were 238 incidents of problematic behavior at the library in December, 183 in January and 148 in February. Considering that 5,000 people use the Main Library every day, that's not too bad.
