rahter than video taping the situation - have the administrators spend time in the library to observe first hand. I had a similar situation many years ago and learned my lesson- now I control who comes to the library. Any student who wishes to be in the library for their activity period (we don't have any study halls) or during lunch MUST have a presigned pass from me. In that manner I can control those times when I have a class in the library or control the maximum I will accept. In this manner I can also refuse admittance to any student who has proven unable to use the facility in an "adult" manner.
