It just occurred to me that city directives may not apply to me. That being said, I've never been one to "parse the rules", so I go to work knowing that I could probably get fired if anyone found out.

IANAL, but IMO the city policy applies to you.
The fact that you are a contractor makes it even easier to fire you. All it takes is one phone call.
If you get fired for violating any company policy don't expect the temp agency to ever find you another job.

I know schools, court buildings and Fed buildings are off limites, as well as properly posted signs on private property, but I'm not sure the library qualifies. No one seems to know if there is a library policy on it, but with the kind of people that come in here, it would be an excellent idea to have someone armed. My boss doesn't seem to have a clue, so I'm trying to research it myself. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, IANAL, this is not legal advice. I don't believe there would be a city ordinance, it would be part of the policy manual. Most employees are give a copy of the policy manual when they are hired and are usually required to sign a statement that they have read it. Since your boss doesn't seem to have a clue [very strange], I would go to the Human Resource department and ask for a copy of the policy manual. I wouldn't specifically ask for the gun or weapons policy, but just the employee handbook. I would also bet that there is a copy online which you can read.
