On Saturday, I was working by myself at the desk, when in walked a mom with 3-4 children, later in walked an older couple, and then a lady with a notebook. When I checked the monitor for the children's room, the puppets were screaming in horror....they were being sneezed on, they were being chewed on, they were flying through the air not with the greatest of ease. The Disney tree ornament were scurrying to the top of the tree because everything with in reach was being ripped off and tossed. When all was said and done, I cleaned up the room, apologized to all the puppets and ornaments and I did let the caseworker know that visits needed to be arranged in advance so we could be sure we had proper room available for them. Someone had told them we had a whole basement available.....I think I will be watching the responses on this one. I'm sorry I chuckled. :(</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_3599" dir="ltr">Joann @ Hudson<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_2695"><span></span></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_4208" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_4207" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_4209" dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Mimi Herrington <mherring@badaxelibrary.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> michlib-l <michlib-l@mcls.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, December 19, 2014 1:05 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Michlib-l] Supervised visits policies<br> </font> </div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_4206" class="y_msg_container"><br><div id="yiv1298298241"><style type="text/css"></style><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1419274204672_4205" dir="ltr">

<div style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;FONT-FAMILY:tahoma;COLOR:#000000;DIRECTION:ltr;">Supervised
visits are becoming more and more frequent at our library, and with them come
people that don't normally use the library, and don't know what behavior is
expected.
<div> </div>
<div>Do any of you have specific policies for supervised visits, or have
hand-outs to give parents and social workers? We have discovered
finger-painting and clay work, along with lots of snacks happening in our kids
room - plus general mayhem and messes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have patron behavior policies, but it would be nice to have something
specific to this situation. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any help you can give!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Happy Holidays!</div>
