When in doubt, contact IT. Hi Laura, Thank you for sharing Karen's email. As she stated I sent a letter to HMS parents last year about use of the library after school, especially on half days. I will send something out again to remind parents. We can also ask the Y if they are able to put something together for students in half days but I assume there will be a cost for their offerings paid by parents. I can also ask the SRO to check with the Chief to see if he can set up shop on the half days at the library since his duties as SRO are not needed in the buildings. Traditionally anytime school is not in session the SRO becomes a patrol officer for the town. Having Derek in the library with Ziva may be a deterrent for poor behavior. I will check with the Y, send out a notice to parents, and speak with Derek. Hopefully this will quell the behavior and assist Karen and her staff. Have a good day, Jeff On Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 1:03 PM Laura Fitzgerald-Kemmett <lkemmett@hanson-ma.gov> wrote: ■Hi there! Please see the email below from our Library Director Karen Stolfer. Thoughts on how best to avoid this in the future would be appreciated. Wondering if after school programming could be made available with the YMCA.
