In order to best protect the constitutional rights described in Section 1,
the following rules of conduct for library patrons are adopted for all Monroe County public

library while in the building. Library patrons not engaged in reading, studying,
using the library materials, or attending scheduled on-site programs, must leave
the building.

persons while in the building.

Library patrons may not use the restrooms for shaving, washing clothes or
bathing.

Section 1 and must not harass or annoy others through noisy or boisterous
activities, by staring at another person with the intent to annoy that person, by
following another person about the building with the intent to annoy that
person, by playing a walkman or other audio equipment so that others can
hear it, by singing or talking to others or talking in monologues, or by behaving in
a manner that reasonably can be expected to disturb other library patrons.
