This discussion kind of reminds me of the days/early months after 9/11/2001 when we weren’t sure how to handle “Arab” looking people coming in to use our internet stations and asking for materials of a “suspicious” nature. In the end, we relied on the library
bill of rights and provided the information and computer access and hoped for the best. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
In the present moment, I fall back on library policies, reasonable accommodation, and polite service to all and yes, hope for the best.</div>

<div>Perhaps it is because I'm coming from a privileged position, not being a member of any visible marginalized community, but I think some good points have been made on both sides of the debate in this thread.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't see a conflict between holding all patrons to reasonable behavioral boundaries and holding ourselves to reasonable expectations of professionalism. (I have no problem excusing librarians for what might be called "lapses in professionalism" when
confronted with belligerent, politically driven "auditor" behavior, especially if it resonates with personal trauma. No one carries the weight of their profession or their community entirely on their shoulders, and there is always space to pick up the pieces
later.) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't see a conflict between librarians being cognizant of both our rights <em>and</em> our responsibilities to the public, nor between the public's rights and the limitations thereof. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't see a conflict between finding value in the founding documents of the country and recognizing the flaws (some of them unforgiveable) of those documents, the people who composed them, and the ways they've been implemented.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This whole discussion has moved me to bulk up the parts of our collection on the U.S. Constitution and constitutional law, which I've discovered is shockingly dismal, and to do sort of a First Amendment Audit of my own, along with the Diversity Audit I
had been looking toward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Like I said, it may be my privileged position as a white male of middle-class WASP extraction that colors my glasses a little rosy, or perhaps it's my aversion to conflict. This discussion has educated me on some important issues and given me several useful
resources, and I am grateful for it.</div>

<div>Well said, Joseph!</div>
<br>
<div>If we were to remove the whole "First Amendment Auditor" thing from this conversation, would we tolerate the behavior some of us have seen?</div>
<br>
<div>In my case, I would be telling you about a drunk man who repeatedly called the library, swore at my assistant, harassed the city billing clerk, and followed the clerk to her car and loudly recited her license plate and details about her car. Cut out the
"First Amendment Audit" part, and maybe the Negaunee City Police would have arrested him for being drunk and disorderly, instead of just watching him stalk the clerk. Leave that part out, and maybe I wouldn't have yelled at the police chief in the department
head meeting that followed, about how our force refuses to protect city employees.<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>Leave the "First Amendment Audit" part out of this conversation, and we might not have librarians who privately emailed me after I shared our experience, to say that they've also had similar patron interactions.<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>Leave out the "First Amendment Audit" and maybe other librarians wouldn't tell me that the clerk should have just smiled and humored the guy.<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>So, why give these "auditors" more leniency than we give other belligerent patrons?<br>

An outsider whose main purpose is become YouTube famous and scam people out of money online will still be treated respectfully but with probably less patience if things become confrontational. This is not a question of giving people a chance. It should be
pretty obvious pretty quickly what kind of person you are actually dealing with. This gas lighting narrative where Librarians are abusing the public trust or citizens’ rights because we don’t want to be treated like garbage is bizarre. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Being a public institution, consent is not needed to be filmed. Being a public servant, consent is not needed to be filmed while serving the public. Being a public servant, these audits should be taken seriously, as they are (at the core)
being done by concerned patrons. If you are part of a consortium, they may be your patrons even if they are not from your city or generally considered community, as you are part of a collective. These should not be something to be feared, nor fought. The money
we use is paid by taxes of citizens, and it is their right to inquire about policies, how the library is governed, the collection, and if the staff is aware of the rights of citizens in their libraries. Use this as an opportunity to listen to those who (it
appears) you may have a difference of opinion from, rather than an attack on the library or you/your staff. Yes, these citizens sometimes try to "catch" you being scared or intimidated, or ignorant to their rights, because when these first started years ago,
many facilities were. Get ahead of the auditors and take time to understand their purpose, review if your collection needs around constitutional/governmental materials and train staff on the rights of patrons/citizens in a public space. Heck, you could even
have a program on citizen rights in public and private spaces and can show the auditors that you are aware of their concerns and are addressing them. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I personally would interact with an auditor, to know how the library is perceived by those who have concerns over their rights in a time when rights are being reduced by governing bodies. Why not request to sit and have a conversation
with them rather than shy away? They want to be heard, same as everyone else with concerns, so, why not listen? By being negative toward them (even if it's only in internal emails), you are being negative toward an entire demographic that your library may
be excluding (or ridiculing), based on perception alone, which is counterintuitive to an institution that wishes to have full community support and usage. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Now, I would like to say, nothing is ever absolute, and those who had a negative experience with a hostile audit, is not the norm (as showcased in this thread and across the internet). Do not assume your auditor will be hostile, just
as you wouldn't assume the intention of any other patron entering your facility. <u></u><u></u></p>

not to have your face included. Use honey, not vinegar.) <u></u><u></u></p>
