<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
