We had a new customer in the library and I'm 98% sure he has a severe tic disorder, which included a string of obscenities repeated over and over again. Also lots of body tic's with his head and shoulders.
Obivously I don't want to tell him to leave because of his language. (My coworker came busting over to me in a state and was like, he's acting erratic do we need to call 911??!?!?). He just moved to our area and asked about lots of library programs and info, so I think he'll become a regular. But we need to have something to say to other customers who come up and complain about his language or behavior. Also it is just supposition on my end that he has a tic disorder, but I can't imagine it being anything else. When he was talking to me and asking questions I could see his body tics stop while his brain was occupied with the conversation.
Any advice on what to say to other customers who complain/are concerned about him?

Any advice on what to say to other customers who complain/are concerned about him? there are tic support organizations that likely have some info. But you might need to address it directly to him, an awkward conversation of course so read up at the tic support orgs to see if there is any suggestions of conversation starters some carefully worded normally we would need to ask you to leave if you use certain language unless there are mitigating circumstances like diagnosed tic disorders where we can make accommodations and employ some ways to keep the public from overreacting. Likely if he becomes less anxious at the library his tics will become less pronouced, but it doesn't always work like that.

He had an ear infection 3 weeks ago along with COVID, then just the outer infection on Monday, for which he was on (different) antibiotics for. They said the inside looked good. The pediatrician said it’s not a great abx for inner ear infections but was still surprised his ears looked as bad as they did while on them.

I hope these antibiotics work and you all get a break for a bit.

fatpony I’m a little late, but does your library have quiet areas or study rooms? That might help to have customers go there if they’re upset about the noise. That’s a tricky scenario.

After having the most beautiful fall, we got snow this weekend and it looks like we may have it for at least a week. I ordered new boots for my son two weeks ago, stashed them away somewhere and have completely forgotten where I put them. I don’t even know how that’s possible, I am pretty consistent with my stashing.

Last I remember it, I had it on the hook by the side door. Now it's completely missing. I ordered a new one on amazon, then that one got lost in shipping. Then I ordered a new one of the new one and it finally arrived. Comedy of errors.

We do, but the upset people I noticed last week were the people browsing books, pickup up holds, using the internet computers.

How does a whole Chrome book vanish?

The boots were in our garage in the Bogs box. I didn’t even check the stinking box!

I know there are expectations for behavior but if it is uncontrollable (and it seems like it is), I think it’s just one of those things that customers will have to remember it’s a public space.

I finally unpacked enough boxes from our move and found it!

Jump to 2 years later and i found it in our couch, which we shipped from the US to Portugal and sat in storage for 4 months. 😂 Still worked too!
