Outside organizations have approached the library (or just shown up) to provide or promote some kind of service to the public and want to set up in the library parking lot. They are not businesses but rather things like the local mobile health clinic or council on aging. I can recognize that these are positive acts that we want to encourage but I don't have any kind of policy that addresses this beyond "Random people can't set up tables on library grounds" etc. When it was just one organization, I got wind of it in time to run it past my library board. But now we're up to four organizations, all of whom have asked at the last minute without giving me time to approach my board. I think I need a policy. Do you have something that addresses this, you would be willing to share? I don't even know what to call it. Parking Lot Policy? </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Tracy Logan<br>Library Director<br>Cadillac Wexford Public Library<br>411 S.
