Discussion of policy addressing the use of the lobby area (6:11—6:25 p.m.) Although the lobby area is space that belongs to the city, the library is often asked by patrons to use the area. The city clerks have found patrons can be disruptive. The committee may suggest a policy which allows only displays. Margery will draft a brief policy to discuss for next month’s agenda. 8.
