[Publib] Skateboards and scooters

[Linda Cannon]

We allow them to bring them in, but they must carry them while here.
Scooters can, of course, be chained to the bike rack if the patron has
means to do so rather than toting them through the library.

Subject: [Publib] Skateboards and scooters

I'm assuming most libraries don't allow people to bring in skateboards
or scooters, but have any of you made any special arrangements for
people (i.e., kids) who use these modes of transportation?

Right now, I tell people they can't bring them in, since that is our
policy, but does anyone else feel there ought to be a way to accommodate
skateboard and scooter users? A lot of kids live too far from the
library to walk and can't use or don't have access to cars. I make a
distinction between skateboard and scooters and athletic equipment,
which kids don't have to use to get around.

I realize a lot of folks might want to be more accommodating, but can't
because of limited resources.

Thank you
JL
