I was there this week and the text isn't compliant. Also like others said it's government property.

Do you happen to know if there are metal detectors at this location? The Clayton Library is doing the same thing and I'm speaking with them about it. They have metal detectors at the front so I can't just ignore the sign. (not that I would....) Does anyone know if this is standard across all of the City of Houston Libraries?

Thanks!

The detectors at the door are most likely not metal detectors but RF detectors. Sadly the Library has to guard against theft just like everybody else.

I didn't even think of that!! That library actually has to be especially careful with theft because many of their materials can't be replaced easily (geneology information). I'm feeling a little dumb right now for not thinking of that so I might have to wear some HUGE ear rings and an arm full of bangle bracelets in there just to find out!

Would you do this even if it meant setting of the metal detectors? I dont' think you would be wrong to do so, but I dont' want to announce to the whole library that I'm carrying.

I dont' have my plastic yet so I'm going to try to talk to them while I'm waiting on it. I have time to go through other means first. (though others who already have their plastic should not be restricted during that time) I'm just wondering if it is a policy of the library system or just Clayton to have metal detectors.
