CONCEALED CARRY

“Whereas the Brown Memorial Library is a community gathering place for lifelong learning, and whereas the Brown Memorial Library has children and adults of all ages in their buildings at all times, and whereas the Ohio General Assembly has enacted legislation that includes an exemption for public libraries as a permissible location for concealed weapons,

Therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Brown Memorial Library does not permit weapons of any kind, either concealed or in plain view, on its property or in its buildings, unless the owner of the weapon is a law enforcement officer, and, be it further resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Brown Memorial Library will post the necessary notification of its status as exempt from Ohio’s Concealed Carry Legislation, as required by the Ohio Revised Code.”
