POLICY NO.:
PAGE 1 OF 10
EFFECTIVE: 6/1/95
REVISED: 10/ 10/02
APPROVED: 6/1/95
PURPOSE: The purpose ofthis policy is to ensure that the rights ofan individual to use the Rancho
Cucamonga Public Library are not abridged or denied; to set guidelines for staff to structure their
response to inappropriate behavior; and to ensure the safety of staff when working with disruptive
patrons.
The library policy includes 1) rules of conduct, 2) a safety policy 3) required staff support and 4)
notification of Library Director.
The appendices include Rules of Conduct, Tips for Dealing with Problem Patrons and sample
complaint form from the Complaints--Service Policy.

RULES OF CONDUCT:
Appendix A is a list of the Rules of Conduct for the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library.
u i a ~ i ~,,.:w:i:.., ur.w,.,,..~,o.., ~..,fr ~, a ......i:.,oa All staff should
b ~
follow the same procedures, since they can't call on a supervisor every time. Call on another staff
member to verify your opinions or to verify the rules you are quoting to a disturbed patron. Then-the
•n i• w i..w,. ..~..,. .i.,.e . rt,o :....,«: , a...~.e
SAFETY POLICY:
Always approach a suspected problem patron with a backup employee. Never approach a suspect
alone.
Police can't always arrive immediately. When confronted with a weapon, clear the area and call the
police immediately.
If patroris are fighting, get out of the way. Get other persons out of the way too. Don't let anyone
intercede. Call the police.
Problem Patron Policy
Page 2 of 10
If a patron complains about another person and you can't verify the complaint, suggest that the patron
might want to move to another table area of the library while you keep the other person under
observation.
,..o,... ~ vir
STAFF SUPPORT:
Peer support increases morale and lessens stress. Adopt a team approach. You can't rely on one lead
person, since that person may not be there at the time of the emergency.
As soon as a patron appears that you believe might be a possible danger:
*Don't make eye contact with the patron
*Alert another staff member as soon as possible. The staff person you contacted is to alert other staff
in the building and serve as your "back up" person.
*Never s eak with the atron alone. If you need to make contact, bring your back up staff person
with you. In interacting with a problem patron, inform a paranoid patron beforehand what you will
do, such as, "Let me bring another staff person over to help us with this problem..." The other staff
person can say "Is there something we can do to help?"
Afrer an incident with a problem patron, a staff meeting is important to discuss the experience. It
makes a person feel better and is instructional to others.
Refer to Appendix B, Tips on Dealing with the Problem Patron for additional information
NOTIFICATION OF LIBRARY DIRECTOR:
Write a detailed report for the Library Director as soon as possible after any incident. Note the time,
date, description of patron, nature of the incident including conversation, actions and witnesses.

TIPS ON DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM PATRON
WHEN CALLING THE POLICE:
The police are the most often called upon resource. If a crime is occurring when you call, say: "I am
reporting a crime in progress." Have your library's name and address listed by the phone (these can
be forgotten under stress).
For emergencies, dia1911. To contact the Dispatch Division of Police for assistance, dia1941-1488.
Your most important role is as a witness. Please notice and jot down appearance of suspect; clothing
worn; direction of flight; etc.
DISCIPLINING IN MINOR DISTURBANCES:
Minor disturbances, such as excessive noise, unacceptable language, etc., can be handled by the staff.
(Two warnings, and expulsion is the normal procedure, but steps can be omitted depending on the
nature and severity of the disturbance.)
Deliverine the first warninu:
*Identify yourself to the offenders and politely explain that they are creating a disturbance to others.
*Try to determine the leader of any group and focus on him or her.
*Impress upon them that this is unacceptable behavior as it is disturbing other patrons.
Delivering the second warning:
* Clearly state this constitutes a second warning and that there will be no third warning -- that if it is
necessary to speak with them again, it will be to ask them to leave.
*Impress upon them that all members of the group will be asked to leave as you have no way of
knowing how many are actually creating the disturbance.
Handling the expulsion:
*Do not be drawn into a debate with patrons at this point.
*If they refuse to leave, inform them you must call the police.
*Ifnecessary, call the police at °Q~ °~-b 941-1488 or in an emergency or critical situation, dia1911.
Explain the situation and ask for help.
Problem Patron Policy
Page 7 of 10
*The Library Director may request the Board to expel a continuous offender from the library for a
specified period of time.
DEALING WITH DISTURBED OR HOSTILE PROBLEM PATRONS:
Assessing the situation:
If a patron's behavior or appearance is bizarre but not seriously objectionable: .
*Keep the patron under observation.
*If a patron complains, be sympathetic to the complainant but explain the library is a
public building and suggest he or she move to another table while you continue to observe.
Handling the expulsion:
*Any dangerous or extremely disturbed person should not be approached, but the police
should be called immediately.
*Any patrons exhibiting prohibited inappropriate behavior may be asked to leave
immediately, depending on the seriousness of the situation. Don't hesitate to call police for
support.
*Do not approach any such patron alone, but always take a colleague along for support.
*Be authoritative, non-accusatory, calm, firm, direct and honest, repeating your request
several times if necessary.
*If you are expelling the patron, use words to this effect: "Your behavior is inappropriate
for the library. You'll have to leave."
*Never touch such patrons, or turn your back on them suddenly.
*Do not block the offending persons path of exit.
*If the patron refuses to leave or returns the same day, call the police.
*Your protection and that of patrons is foremost -- give in when necessary to protect
yourself and the public. Example: In the event of theft, if the patron threatens to physically
accost you or other patrons, let the patron leave and immediately contact the police.
*Advise the supervising librarian to the situation, as well as other departments. Have
backup as a witness and for support.
Problem Patron Policy

*If confronted by a weapon or a fight, keep away and attempt to clear the area of other
patrons.
*Never make eye contact with such a patron unless you plan on talking to him or her.
HANDLING MAJOR DISTURBANCES:
In general, the person in charge is the one who calls the police. However, if any staff member
observes a situation in which a patron or another staff member appears to be in danger of physical
injury from a hostile patron, he or she should immediately call the police directly; administration or
the supervising librarian should be informed of action.
DEALING WITH SEXUAL DEVIANTS:
In general, the person in charge is the one who calls the police. Inappropriate behavior ranges from
the obvious case of exposure to more subtle behavior such as peepers and self fondling. The police
should be called to deal with these suspects. Identify the subject, be prepared to describe him/her
and behavior and notify police.
Should you as an employee feel threatened by a patron, regardless of whether your Supervisor feels it
appropriate to call the police, you have the right as a citizen to phone the police, report the situation
and ask for support. Such occurrences should be reported to the Library Director for information.
DEALING WITH THE ELDERLY AND LONELY:
You may feel conflicting emotions in handling these people. "Should I feel a responsibility to them?
Yet I can't let them monopolize me." The aged usually have multiple losses (sensory, family,
financial, social, meaningfulness). This situation causes anger, depression and fear. It can make
them demanding and helpless. Try to make them feel self-sufficient. Don't treat them patronizingly
-- they are not children. If they start monopolizing you, set a time limit initially. Tell them this, so
they won't feel rejection. Do it positively, by saying, "It will be nice to talk with you for the next 5
minutes (or whatever) before I have to return to the desk." After the time has passed, say good-bye
and that you look forward to seeing them again. The quality rather than the quantity oftime you give
them is most important.
TIPS ON DEALING WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS:
Give them choices of action, but remain firm. Set limits, but don't be repressive. They are getting
conflicting guidance on behavior from various institutions. ^'' ' "'' '" ''° '"°°'°`' "'''''
respect-They a~~=stay often testing authority and have many personal problems. Don't tell
them what to do, but give choices. Remain objective in confrontations.

Libraries can be used as hangouts. It is hard to motivate a group to behave. Determine the leader's
name and focus on him or her. Get him or her aside and talk over the problem. Again, offer choices,
not demands (such as "shape up or leave"). Be firm and consistent. Separate groups to different
tables before asking anyone to leave. A sliding scale of penalties can be found under Rules of
Conduct, Appendix A.
WORKING WITH THE ANGRY PATRON:
Anger is often momentary. Abusive language may be involved. Empathize with angry patrons and
show you are listening to them. Show your interest and understanding, but don't give the appearance
of passivity. Hold yourself erect and proud. Benon-critical. Respond with, "You sound angry" or
"You must feel badly about this," or "I know the feeling, but this is one of the rules." This empathy
helps them resume a reasonable attitude after they vent. Tn, .°'~~-~''~°~~ ^~^^nd Imt-always bBe
willing to supply the name of your supervisor, the name of the supervisor of the Division or the
Director of the Library. Remember, you are getting fallout from their frustration with other agencies.
If they persist, offer them the opportunity to speak to the Librarian in charge or to put their
complaint in writing using the Complaint Form to receive a response from the Library Director.
(Appendix C)
HANDLING VERBAL ABUSE AND OBSCENE PHONE CALLS:
These people vent anger with words rather than physically. The abuse is not personally directed at
you. To an obscene or abusive phone caller, respond with "I'm not going to listen to this; I am going
to hang up" and do so. In-person anger will create a scene, so other staff should stand nearby. Staff
should approach you and say, "I heard all this noise and wonder if I can help." This makes the patron
feel less powerful. Call the police if necessary. Recount the affair to another staff person to relieve
your stress.
OTHERS:
Another difficulty comes with starrers, since you can't prove they aren't just daydreaming. If
someone complains, have the complainer move to another table. Keep the starrer under observation.
You may have to ask him or her to leave eventually, citing inappropriate behavior and lack of use of
the library as reasons.
A minimally disturbed patron can sometimes be deflected by your being assertively helpful, such as
by asking, "Do you want a book?" or "How can we help you find what you want?" The patron may
have no response and may move away on his own initiative.

SUMMARY FOR DEALING WITH PROBLEM PATRONS
1. Ifyour judgment suggests the police need to be called, dia1911 in an emergency or 941-1488
in anon-emergency.
2. Alert another staff person if a patron is acting in a strange manner. Never speak with
disturbed patrons by yourself.
3. Never touch them. Don't make eye contact unless you mean to speak to them. Hold yourself
erect and proud.
4. Take the person aside, whenever possible, so as not to embarrass him or her.
5. Be calm, impersonal, and authoritative. Don't show exasperation or fear.
6. Set limits and stick to them.
7. Repeat your request slowly as many times as is necessary.
8. Don't argue with outrageous statements; don't discuss a patron's delusions with him/her.
9. Be simple and explicit. Mention the behavior that is causing the problem.
10. Offer a choice of action, even if only to say "please abide by our rules or leave."
11. Avoid humor or personal remarks.
12. Be considerate -- the risk of violence will decrease.
13. If you must ask someone to leave, a good standard phrase is, "This is inappropriate behavior
for the library; you will have to leave."
14. Behavior that is bizarre but harmless can be ignored but kept under observation.
15. If a person behaves in a threatening or highly bizarre manner, clear the azea around him or
her, especially if children are present, and call the police.
Write a detailed report for the Library Director as soon as possible afrer any incident. Note the time,
date, description of patron, nature of the incident including conversation, actions and witnesses.
