- Keep your service animal with you and under your control at all times.
- Keep your animal on the floor or on your person at all times.
- If your service animal is a dog, keep your dog on a leash.
- If your service animal's behavior poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, or disobeys SFPL's Guidelines for Library Use, it may not stay in the library.
