Windham library seeks fix for after-school loitering. (Lakes Region Weekly, 5/2/2014)
After-school headache. According to library director Jen Leo, in the past month, students, primarily from Windham Middle School, have become a growing menace during afternoon hours. According to Leo and other library staff, every day, about 20 to 30 students frequently engage in loud profanity, horseplay and bullying, disrupting other library patrons. Sometimes they take each other’s cellphones, pick each other up and lie about their names. One student has been permanently banned from the facility, and another will soon be banned, as well. Leo said she occasionally resorts to calling the police.
Windham Public Library Code of Conduct policy
The policy provides, willy-nilly, 32 bullet-pointed examples.
I'd suggest a clustered approach, such as the one used by the Multnomah County Library for their behavior rules.
