We have had an uptick of kids that want to leave their scooters or bikes behind the Circulation Desk. For the safety of staff (tripping hazard) and to discourage kids from riding them in and out of the library, we are asking that library users keep bikes and scooters outside of the library.
Since we have allowed some users to keep bikes and scooter behind the desk recently, you may get some questions or pushback. Please always remind people that we offer scooter and bike locks. If the bike or scooter owner does not feel comfortable locking their bike or scooter outside, please let them know that we cannot, for safety reasons, keep them in the library. You can use your judgment, but for younger library users, you may want to gently let them know that if they do not feel comfortable locking it up outside, they may need to return it to their home, and they may not want to ride it to the library anymore.
We are able to keep balls behind the Circulation Desk on or below the white cart.
Please let Molly or Beth know if you have any questions.
