My kids told me about signs located on ALL the tables in the Yorktown branch of the public library. Here is the sign. This photo was taken around 3pm 4 AUG, 2011.
That would violate the ADA of 1990.ETA: They also prohibit service animals other than for blind or hearing-impaired. I don't know if there is any state law on this, but there are definitely other service animals in use out there.
Maybe they just don't know... shouldn't we give them the chance to fix it first? ::shrug:: Your find, your call.I'd love to see them try to have someone arrested for Ocing. It would be interesting. I'll start on an e-mail to Sheriff Diggs.

I may be wrong, but wasn't there something about this a while back? May be in the OC in HR thread? I vaguely remember someone communicating about this with Sheriff Diggs and the Library Administrator.
As a followup, here's the Library Director's response. Note that he responded to the Sheriff & the County Attorney.
Mr. Barnett & Sheriff Diggs, I am aware of the State law and have informed the staff that citizens to do have a right to carry "arms" into the library whenever they occasionally do so. This is an apparent oversight in updating the Rules and Regulations of Conduct section of the Library Policies. I will have the Library Board revise the policy at their August meeting.
Thanks I just found it too.
This should have already been taken care of:

It shouldn't take two weeks to remove the signs!

Open carry in to the library. If she objects give her the talk to the hand gesture.

If you check this post, you'll find this:
"I cc'd my e-mail to the Library Director to Sheriff Diggs (and to PVC). Sheriff Diggs' response follows.I have forwarded your discovery of the problem with the library's conduct code to the county attorney. I assume that he will advise the library of this problem and ask them to correct it. Please note that this policy was implemented in 2003 and I do not know if the state law had been passed at that time. I would also assume that this is an oversight on their part. Until the policy is corrected, please be assured that no action will be taken by deputies as we realize that state law supersedes library policy."
I'll send e-mail to the Drector of Library Services. He assured me in an earlier e-mail that his staff was fully familiar with State Law regarding firearms carry.
