Policies - Customer Conduct
Revised and adopted by Library Board of Trustees on December 6, 2000.

Enjoy Your Library Visit!
All San Antonio Public Library facilities and bookmobiles are available to persons of all ages. While everyone has an equal right to access library services and facilities, no person has the right to interfere with the ability of others to use and enjoy library resources, services, and facilities.

To make sure that everyone enjoys using the library, the following rules have been established and adopted by the San Antonio Public Library Board of Trustees.

The Library Director and authorized staff are responsible for enforcing customer conduct in the library and on library premises. Anyone found to be interfering with another’s use and enjoyment of the library will be asked to stop the behavior or activity. If the behavior continues, the staff will ask the individual to leave the library. Failure to leave will result in staff calling the police for assistance.

To provide an enjoyable library experience for everyone, no person shall:

  • Possess or display weapons, including concealed handguns.
  • Possess alcohol or any illegal substance or be intoxicated (whether by alcohol or other mind altering drugs) to the point of impairment of his/her mental or physical abilities.
  • Exhibit disruptive, uncontrolled behavior or exceed acceptable noise levels.
  • Verbally abuse library customers or library staff.
  • Harass customers or staff, or attempt to engage customers or staff in unwanted discussion.

  • Use a skateboard, scooter or skate in the library or on library premises.
  • Present bodily hygiene that is distracting to customers or staff to the point that it interferes with customers’ use of library resources or with staff work.
  • Make unauthorized or inappropriate use of library equipment (e.g. elevators, computers, fire alarms, emergency exit doors, etc.).
  • Destroy or deface library resources or property or the personal property of customers or staff.
  • Steal library property.
