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 disagree. Setting aside my feelings on the policy, a behavior occurred, a policy was enacted, a behavior was changed. Making it objectively a policy issue.

    Your desire for it not to be a policy issue seems to be the driving factor for why you don’t think it’s a policy issue. Seems like circular reasoning.

    Maybe I’m missing something though, I’m open to elaboration on why curtailing misbehavior on public grounds with a policy is not a policy issue.
