Printer Man has been BANNED!

Richard Stark, (Printer Man) has been banned from the library after his latest attempt to "steal" copies and his general ranting and raving. Tonight he wouldn't leave and we ended up closing late, he tried to take copies without paying by stuffing them in his pockets, and he argued with me YET AGAIN about being banned from the computers and his inappropriate and disruptive behavior. I told him IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that he is no longer welcome in the library - but I fully expect that he will be back.

I have spoken to the Police Chief as well as Officer Reinhold about him, and they advised me to "trespass" him if he comes in again.

So, if he comes in, please do not engage with him at all. If I am in the building, just let me know that he is here and I will call the police and have them come "trespass" him and remove him. If I am not here, please call my cell, and I will advise you from there. If I am unable to be reached, just call the police, tell them that he has been told that he is not welcome in the library due to his previous behavior, and have them come remove him. Again, please do not approach or deal with him - we'll let the police handle it from here on out.

If you have any questions or concerns about this situation, please come see me.

Thanks!

Crazy Train

As some of you know, we have had more problems with "Crazy Printer Guy." The other day, I told him that he was no longer allowed to use the computers at all, and I told him why (and he knows exactly why). He then went an a rant about how he was being treated like a child, on and on and on, and then he left. I didn't expect him to return.

But, return he did, on Saturday, where he proceeded to give Sue a hard time. He was being fairly creepy. My guess is he's off his meds - he was never combative before, and he always looked clean and presentable, and now he is being somewhat aggressive and his hygiene has taken a downturn, I noticed.

SO....

He is NOT allowed to use the computer - period. If you find him using the computer, tell me. If I am not there, tell Cindy or Sue. He is to be asked to leave the library. IF HE WON'T LEAVE OR IF YOU EVER FEEL CREEPED OUT OR THREATENED BY HIM, DO NOT HESITATE TO THREATEN TO CALL THE POLICE - AND THEN CALL THEM IF HE DOES NOT COOPERATE. Whatever his mental health issue is, it seems to be escalating, so never hesitate to call for help.

At this point he is not banned from the library, but if I (or anyone else) have to speak to him one more time about the computers, he will be, and I will let you know.

Questions, please see me.

Thanks!!
