[Publib] Patrons and back packs

[Bonnie Mendes]

We haven't had this problem, fortunately.  But if you do create a policy, 
remember that you cannot discriminate against teens.  All patrons would have 
to leave their backpacks, which opens up the question of computer cases, 
diaper bags, etc.

We are having trouble with patrons taking computer parts, keyboards, 
computer switches......... besides having cameras around has anyone thought 
of making teens leave their back backs at the front desk?  Thanks!
