6. Carrying unauthorized weapons of any sort;

This policy has changed a little bit due to the allowance of carrying a concealed handgun on Rowan County Properties.

Clink on the link below to see the "Do's and Don'ts of carrying a concealed handgun"
https://www.rowancountync.gov/GOVERNMENT/Departments/SheriffsOffice/HandgunPermits.aspx

Concealed Carry Permit Holders cannot be in an area where School Groups are present while at the Library!

Examples of some Unauthorized Weapons

Dagger

                Ballistic Knife

Sling Shot

Bowie Knife

                                     

Metallic or Brass Knuckles

Shuriken

Stun Gun

                                                                         
 

Pocket Knives are allowed;  Pocket knife is defined as being “a small knife, that is designed to be carried in a pocket or purse, which has its cutting edge and point entirely enclosed by its handle." 

If you witness a patron with an unauthorized weapon informed them that they will have to remove it from the Library because it’s against policy to have unauthorized weapons on Library property. If they do not comply call the police!

Know this policy and be confident in enforcing it!
