After trying several measures to deal with crowds of rowdy students after school, the Wickliffe Public Library (OH) decided that they would not admit kids under 14 years of age, unless accompanied by an adult, between the hours of 2:30-5:30 on weekdays.
Richard Zalecky, the library’s clerk-treasurer, said that at times more than 100 children have been seen loitering inside the library or outside. Graffiti has been found on outside walls and inside restrooms, he said. Students have harassed patrons as they arrive or leave, he said.“We had to escort some people out because they were afraid of the crowd,” Zalecky said.
