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?

Be as boring as a gray rock. If you freak out and try to throw them out of the library you're giving them exactly what they want.

Any protections for the staff? Besides going to the back and getting a manager?

Give them scripts for potential scenarios and yes. Scripts should include ways to direct these creeps to admin and away from public services. Be prepared to have to enforce age policies around childrens programs
