Politics

As we head into the last month of this election cycle, many of our Library staff are engaged and passionate about the political candidates and issues. Please be aware that many of our workspaces are public, and conversations about politics or religion may be overheard by your coworkers or by patrons, and may make others feel uncomfortable. Remember to be respectful of political and religious viewpoints that may differ from yours, and considerate of all of our staff and patrons.

Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday – we can dress up, eat candy, and glorify spooky and scary things. If you are planning to dress up in costume for the holiday, please remember to be thoughtful in your choices and respectful of your colleagues and our patrons. Costumes that are racially, ethnically, or politically based or overtly sexy are not appropriate in the workplace. If you have any questions about what you’ve chosen for yourself this year, please contact Sheryl Cullina.
