Salisbury Library Bans Loitering

SALISBURY (AP) -- Library patrons and others will no longer be allowed to loiter outside the main public library in Salisbury.

The no loitering policy goes into effect Wednesday at the Wicomico Public Library.

Library Director Tom Hehman says the policy is designed to combat an increased number of people who hang out near the library entrance, which has led to complaints of smoking and profanity, among other things.
