Seems to me that there might have been a better way to handle this.

The move came after a year in which library staff complained about rampant misbehavior among rowdy teenagers at the library, Strezo said, including reports of teens lighting firecrackers, getting into fights, and disturbing peers who had come to study or relax after a long day at school.

There is a better way: parents can teach their kids fucking manners. Clearly some of them know how to behave in public, so why are the rest being such little shits?

That’s hardly an actionable policy suggestion.

Indeed, it’s not a policy issue.

I disagree. Setting aside my feelings on the policy, a behavior occurred, a policy was enacted, a behavior was changed. Making it objectively a policy issue.

Your desire for it not to be a policy issue seems to be the driving factor for why you don’t think it’s a policy issue. Seems like circular reasoning.

Maybe I’m missing something though, I’m open to elaboration on why curtailing misbehavior on public grounds with a policy is not a policy issue.

I get where you’re coming from, but I think anything concerning human behavior and how they use the services absolutely is a policy issue.
