business or amusement, church, public hall or meeting place; or
(3)Â Cause a nuisance by congregating and hindering the free passage of

B. Obstructing sidewalk prohibited. No person shall block any sidewalk

but not limited to standing on the part of the walk that is fit for

conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this subsection

data processing records, or other tapes, artifacts or other documents,
written or printed materials, regardless of physical form of characteristics,
belonging to, on loan to or otherwise in the custody of a library.
B. Possession without consent prohibited. Whoever intentionally takes
and carries away, transfers, conceals or retains possession of any
library material without the consent of a library official, agent
or employee and with intent to deprive the library of possession of
the material may be subject to a forfeiture as provided by the general

and Village Attorney, shall be deemed to be theft. Notice shall be
considered given when written notice is mailed to the last-known address
of the person with the overdue material; the notice date shall be
the date of mailing.
C. Concealment. The concealment of library material beyond the last
station for borrowing library material in a library is evidence of
intent to deprive the library of possession of the material. The discovery
of library material which has not been borrowed in accordance with
the library's procedures or taken with consent of a library official,
agent or employee and which is concealed upon the person or among
the belongings of another is evidence of intentional concealment on
the part of the person so concealing the material.
D. Detention based on probable cause. An official or adult employee
or agent of a library who has probable cause for believing that a
person has violated this section in his or her presence may detain
the person in a reasonable manner for a reasonable length of time
to deliver the person to a peace officer or to the person's parent
or guardian in the case of a minor. The detained person shall be promptly
informed of the purpose of the detention and be permitted to make
telephone calls, but shall not be interrogated or searched against
his or her will before the arrival of a peace officer who may conduct
a lawful interrogation of the accused person. Compliance with this
section entitles the official, agent or employee effecting the detention
to the same defense in any action as is available to a peace officer
making an arrest in the line of duty.
E. Damaging material prohibited. No person shall mar, deface or in any
other way damage or mutilate any library material.
F. Return demanded. No person shall fail, on demand, to return any library
material when such demand has been made in accordance with the rules
and regulations duly made and adopted by the library.

any flowers or fruit, wild or cultivated or break, cut down, trample
upon, remove, or in any manner injure or deface, write upon, defile
or ill use any tree, shrub, flower, flower bed, turf, fountain, ornament,
statue, building, fence, apparatus, bench, table, official notice,
sign, bridge, structure or other property within any park or parkway,
or in any way injure, damage or deface any public building, sidewalk

in any street lamps or windows of any building owned or occupied by

D.
B. The intentional concealment of unpurchased merchandise which continues
from one floor to another or beyond the last station for receiving
payments in a merchant's store is evidence of intent to deprive the
merchant permanently of possession of such merchandise without paying
the purchase price thereof. The discovery of unpurchased merchandise
concealed upon the person or among the belongings of another is evidence
of intentional concealment on the part of the person so concealing
such goods.
C. A merchant or merchant's adult employee who has probable cause for
believing that a person has violated this section is his presence
may detain such person in a reasonable manner for a reasonable length
of time to deliver him to a peace officer, or to his parent or guardian
if a minor. The detained person must be promptly informed of the purpose
for the detention and may make phone calls, but he shall not be interrogated
or searched against his will before the arrival of a police officer
who may conduct a lawful interrogation of the accused person. Compliance
with this subsection entitles the merchant or his employee affecting
the detention to the same defense in any action as is available to
a peace officer making an arrest in the line of duty.
D. If the value of the merchandise does not exceed $100, any person
violating this section shall forfeit no more than an amount in accordance
with the Village's Schedule of Forfeiture. If the value of the merchandise
exceeds $100, this section shall not apply and the matter shall be
referred to the District Attorney for criminal prosecution.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]

person did not have sufficient funds or credit with the drawee and

[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
