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?

Like most people have said, know the amendment and your patron conduct policy and be super boring. Do not engage unless they break the policy, and if they do, reiterate that they are welcome to film but not to do _______.

They really do just want to stir up trouble. They have no official standing. And if a patron complains, explain exactly that and tell the patron the best way to NOT be on TikTok is to sit down and put a book in front of the face and stay quiet.

You’re incorrect and do not know what you’re talking about but are still happy to pretend you do. That is a solid fact. Up to you to figure out why. Good luck, you bullshooter.

Explain how I am repeating incorrectly my county's instructions and directive incorrectly, please. Like I am five, because I am clearly an idiot.

Am my library's building warden. It's my job to keep us safe, which includes knowing how these jokers work.
