A public library that keeps the public out: Somerville closing central library for hours each weekday after bad behavior - The Boston Globe

The move came after a year in which staff complained about rampant misbehavior among rowdy teenagers at the library, officials said.

Seems to me that there might have been a better way to handle this.

              I apologize I came off as a troll, I was reading the comment thread about how parents should raise their kids and the response comment about the way parents raise their kids isn’t a policy issue. I didn’t see anything in the article about how a policy changed the way parents changed their kids behavior to fix the issue.

              I believe we just talked past each other as the policy fixed the problem of bad behavior occurring in the library during those hours which is true.

        I get where you’re coming from, but I think anything concerning human behavior and how they use the services absolutely is a policy issue.
