Male patron came into the library around
3pm (pic 1). He had been in the day before (8/3) and had complained as he was
leaving about some children in the library (Arnold children - regulars). This
time, the patron sat at his computer for no more than 5 minutes before he
came to the desk to complain about the children again. He said he wanted to
speak with a manager and I told him I was the manager. He then yelled, "No I
need to speak to your boss, like a corporate manager because I've been in
here the last 2 days and both times these kids are running around like it's a
freaking jungle gym and I just got out of the joint and I don't like people
coming up behind me and stuff." Rachel Packard and Jennifer Sullivan were
there as well and he said something to Jennifer about being disrespectful. I
apologized for his experience but he wanted to speak to someone other than
me, so I gave him Jon Walker's card and he left. When Lise Christofferson
arrived at 5, she let us know that there was some vulgarity written outside
with sidewalk chalk (pic 2). I looked back on the camera footage and caught
him writing the message (Video link: https://vimeo.com/583406829 Password:

returns. He had scared the other patrons (especially the Arnold children), my
coworkers, and myself with his strange behavior.
