Nursing Mothers and the Law: Public libraries have to draft all sorts of policies addressing all sorts of behavior in the library from Internet use, to clothing requirements, noise restrictions, and beyond. Most libraries consult attorneys and local law enforcement for advice on drafting these policies. I like to look at other libraries’ policies and recently looked at Seatle Public Library’s Food and Beverage policy. I got a good laugh because that is where they say, “Babies may be nursed in the Library.”
