Concealed Carry Resolution Policy

Approved April 2, 2002 by the Troy-Miami County Public Library Board of Trustees

Whereas the Troy-Miami County Public Library is a community gathering place for lifelong learning, and

Whereas the Troy-Miami County Public Library has children and adults of all ages in their buildings at all times, and

Whereas the Ohio General Assembly has enacted legislation that includes an exemption for public libraries as a permissible location for concealed weapons,

Therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Troy-Miami County Public Library, does not permit weapons of any kind, either concealed or in plain view, on its property or in its buildings, unless the owner of the weapon is a law enforcement officer, and

Be it further resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Troy-Miami County Public Library will post the necessary notification of its status as exempt from Ohio’s Concealed Carry Legislation, as required by the Ohio Revised Code.
