Firearms are banned from buildings containing courts.  Because the municipal court is held on the second floor of the building the Pendleton Public Library is in, they are not allowed in the Library.

We just recently went through this.  I was told by our police chief and City Manager (former chief of police) that since OR is an open carry state we can't ban weapons from coming in.  But if they take an action with them, ie. take it out of the holster, then something can happen (too late at that point in my opinion).  So in our code of conduct it is stated  "Possessing a weapon, except as allowed by state law".

?Habla espa?ol? If yes, then we have some exciting news to share with you! Here at USCIS, we?ve been training ?Emma,? our computer-generated virtual assistant, to speak Spanish so you can easily find what you need on our Spanish website.
We officially launched Emma in English in December 2015, and many of you helped make her smarter by asking her questions and providing feedback. Now we?re getting ready to deliver the same innovative service to our Spanish-speaking customers. But first, we need your help building Emma?s knowledge-base in Spanish.

We?re looking for volunteers to take a few minutes to ask Emma USCIS-related questions in Spanish. To start chatting with Emma:
Visit our Spanish preview site
( https://preview.uscis.gov/es) . 
Click the ?Haga una pregunta? link in the upper right corner. 
Ask your questions using key words, phrases or full sentences in Spanish. 

Emma works on your desktop computer, laptop or mobile device. If you have any feedback or questions, just send us a note at askemma at uscis.dhs.gov. When contacting the e-mail box, the more information about your conversation, the better (including the questions
you asked that Emma did not fully answer).   However, please don?t send
questions about your personal situation or case to this mailbox; instead, check your case status online ( https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do)  or call us at 800-375-5283.
Thanks for supporting Emma as she becomes bilingual!

Please do not reply to this message. Contact us at Public.Engagement at uscis.dhs.gov or USCIS-IGAOutreach at uscis.dhs.gov with any questions.

This would be one to consult your legal advisor on, I think. I've been told by our City Attorney and the local police chief that we can bar open carry of firearms on library premises, but cannot bar concealed carry. You may also want to consult on the "dangerous weapons" section; I've also been advised that there is very little we can do about other weapons (such as knives) unless the individual is using them in a threatening manner. Under Oregon law, you can openly carry almost any type of knife on your person. 

Any new policy regarding weapons is likely to draw interest, potentially of a litigious sort, so I'd make sure you're airtight on this one.

 >>> Oregon Trail Library District Director <otlddirector at centurylink.net> 3/30/2016 7:12 AM >>> Good morning everyone,

We have a new policy for appropriate library use. It includes this as not allowed on Oregon Trail Library District property.
Carrying firearms and dangerous weapons of any type (except by law enforcement officers).
I was told yesterday by a board member, via a city police officer, that banning firearms on public property is illegal.  Does anyone else have this in their policies or know if it is illegal to ban firearms on public property?

Thanks,
