The Library strives to provide a safe and orderly environment for everyone. The Library is a place to study, read, write, research, and attend programs or meetings. To this end, the Library is responsible for establishing rules of conduct to protect the rights and safety of Library patrons and staff.
Failure to comply with the Library’s established rules and policies could result in removal from the premises and/or termination of Library privileges.
Southfield Police Officers will be asked to intervene, if necessary, to stop prohibited activities and behaviors. (Southfield City Ordinance §9.131A and §9.132.)
Library privileges may be reinstated by arranging a personal appointment
