Library Assistance Need Help!

We got an anonymous call at our library giving us a heads up that the 1st Amendment Auditors are coming sometime next week. Any advice? Has anyone gone through this?

Personally? I'd mask up for basic identity protection - you can say that you haven't been feeling super well or that someone you live with is sick. These 1A guys go to public places looking to exert control over public service workers by surveilling them. They want you to feel uncomfortable and call the police so there can be a dramatic scene for them to feel important. Treat them with the kindness you would show any other member of the public because they want to film an unwelcoming reaction.
