to have a policy of 2 people at all times but found there wasn't enough to keep two people busy up front. We do have security cameras, and we are basically two car lengths from the police department next door, so we feel pretty safe. </span>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Class 1 & 2 Directors:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm the newer Director of a Class 2 library. We are probably more a Class 1 library, but due to the county-wide millage vote, we are a Class 2 library. I'm trying to convince my Board that we need to have 2 people on duty at all times during
open hours. All of us would be considered part-time as the library is usually open 33.5 hours/week, and I usually work about 21 hours/week, which is the most here, including my other 2 staff. There often are times when only 1 person is working. We have
no volunteers.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Do you have 2 people working, at all times, in the library on a "normal day"? <span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px">I understand there is always the exception, such as vacation time. </span></span>Do
you have concerns about the safety of the staff? Do you know of any situations where the safety of your staff was a concern? What are your thoughts? I also know if someone wants to do something "bad" or be disruptive, there is no precautions that you could
do that would stop them, even having two people. However, I believe there are steps we/I can take to make it less likely for someone to even consider. </div>
