New Firearms Signs on Doors

In case you haven't noticed, all library locations now have a sign posted prohibiting firearms in the library. This prohibition is authorized by state statute and by the City of Kenosha Ordinances, which refer to the statutes.

Here's the exact text from city ordinances:

City of Kenosha Code of Ordinances
