We have to wear business casual, even on Saturdays. SRP t-shirts are allowed only during SRP and preferably on program days. I liked when golf shirts were an SRP offering as those small logos are okay for us to wear other times of the year and so I'd always
pick one of those. No other t-shirts allowed and no branded items. We have t-shirts bought for those who might take out the book bike to wear then. Personally, I'd love a library branded polo or a sweatshirt. I think having them and being able to wear
them would be great, but as a requirement would mean each person should get 2-3 paid for by the library. Washing all the time would get to be a hassle if you need for the next day. If not required, I'd think a lot of staff would wear regularly in between
other outfits.</div>

libraries currently have a similar policy in place or have in the past. We do currently have a dress code which was approved by the board just a few years ago and seems to be serving us well at this time, so we are most interested in just gathering information
from our fellow library friends regarding this proposal. </span></p>
