Library may take action on e-cigarettes

By LeAnn Eckroth, Bismarck Tribune
BISMARCK, N.D. –The Bismarck Public Library board of directors will consider a change to its policy to specify patrons cannot use e-cigarettes in the library.
The topic will be discussed at its noon meeting Feb. 27 at the library.
Mary Jane Schmaltz, library director, said e-cigarettes are already banned in public buildings under city tobacco ordinances and state law, but the law may not be clear in the library patron code.
“We caught someone smoking an e-cigarette in the library last week. Our patron conduct code already says we do not allow the use of tobacco or chewing tobacco in the library,” she said. “We just want to get our patron conduct code in line with city ordinances.”
