[Libs-Or] 2 library policy questions

[Craig Carter]

Hello everyone,

We have been discussing two separate policy questions, and want to get some feedback from other libraries on how they handle each of them.
The first has to do with patrons with personal hygiene challenges. Do you have a policy that deals with this, and if so, what is your policy? Do you offer any resources to these patrons as far as someplace they could go to shower/bathe and/or get their clothes washed?

The second has to do with e-cigarettes. Do you have a policy that addresses them? If so, what is it? What about chewing tobacco? Do you lump all tobacco-related issues into one blanket policy, or are they separate?

Thanks in advance for your input!
