Illegal sign in York County PUBLIC Library

OR NOT...

I guess I'm too stupid to be able to attach a photo to a posting.

The sign says "Carying weapons of any type" is prohibited in the library.

Oh really? SINCE WHEN?

Were you ever able to get a picture posted? I'd like to see the sign, if it's possible.

Aren't they now breaking their own code of conduct by behaving contrary to State Law?

"C. Failure to comply with the Library’s established rules and regulations may result in exclusion from the Library for the day or permanently, and/or in arrest"
perhaps they ought to be arrested per their own policy

I like the way this one thinks! :lol:
When is the next library board / town council meeting?
Take one of the signs for show & tell.
Or better, take all the signs & recycle them. They're not good for anything.

I'd be tempted to go back to the library, collect ALL the signs, then have a companion videotape you in the act of handing the signs to the librarian on duty, while telling them clearly (for the tape) that the signs are in violation of Virginia law, and you are informing them of such on tape, and if you come back and find them out again, you will swear out a warrant for their arrest.

I don't know if you can actually do that, but neither will they! Maybe someone can tell us if that would work.

I think somebody is having a hard time reconciling their personal beliefs with state law. Maybe they should get a job more attuned with their established beliefs.

Just got back from spending over an hour at the Yorktown library.

No signs, no negative interactions, no problems.

I'll second that!

I donated some books last week while OC-ing and didn't have any issues.

I didn't think to look for signs though since I thought their policy was being revised to match state law any sign was moot.

Open Carry Reading In...

I wish I found this thread when it started...perhaps we could have had an Open Carry Reading In...

But it seems that all has come to the correct outcome...

While I'm all for OC, and fully support literacy, I am not sure I would support something like that if it was an in-your-face demonstration held before the library system had been allowed the opportunity to correct their error. On the other hand, a group of concerned OCers attending a Library Board meeting to give comments about the erroneous policy and to urge corrective action would get my support.

It's hard to remember which tactics to use when.

Now that the question of OC (or CC) has been resolved, I think Bubba Ron volunteering to do an OC story-time reading there would be great. I'd even bring the rocking chair if the library does not have one.

stay safe.

AS much as I enjoy confrontation, I'd have to agree with you, especially in York. More diplomatic solutions should be and were used...simply out of respect to Sheriff Diggs.
