[Libs-Or] Policy question: What belongings does your library allow people to bring in with them?

[Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney]

Ours similarly states that "Interfering with the free passage of library 
  staff or patrons in or on the library premises, including, but not limited to, placing objects such as bicycles, skateboards, backpacks or other items in a manner 
  that interferes with library staff or patron use of the library facility" is disallowed. We've chosen to emphasize access to the library, rather than specifically barring large or bulky items.

                   Our Code of Conduct         states that patrons may not "Bring into the library       anything which creates an obstacle or takes up seating" aside from       strollers and other kid accoutrements.

                                          What             policies, if any, does your library have on the amount of             things or the type of things people bring into the library             with them?  Two incidents this morning prompt this             question.  Both involved people who wanted to leave bulky             and/or large amounts of belongings in an entryway, where             they could monitor them.  As doorways are to be kept clear,             I asked both to move their things and both complied.              Although keeping entryways clear is not in question,             balancing access to the library with the belongings people             want or need to bring in with them is the spirit of this             question.
