<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Has anyone out there written new policy/procedure regarding library staff actions in light of the mandatory reporting law which now seems to applies to libraries? I know city attorneys
have varying opinions about how this law applies to us, but ours is sticking with the ‘better safe than sorry’ approach. We had some training by DHS today and it reminded me that we need to have something in place to guide us internally.
