Unless flight by the person or other circumstances makes it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offense under this subsection, afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting him to identify himself and explain his presence and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this subsection if the police or peace officer did not comply with preceding sentence or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the person was true and, if believed by the police or peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.

It shall be an offense under this subsection for a person to refuse to discontinue such loitering after a request to do so by a police officer.
C. 
Obstruction of entryways by loitering. No person shall loiter upon the public streets, private driveways or sidewalks or in adjacent doorways or entrances so as to obstruct the free entry of persons to the adjacent property, driveways or other entrances to such property.

D. 
Loitering in places of public assembly or use. No person shall by loitering interfere with the free use of any place of public assembly or public use by others using such place of public assembly. It shall be an offense under this subsection for a person to refuse to discontinue such loitering after a request to do so by a police officer or by the person in charge of the place of public assembly.
E. 
Loitering on private premises without invitation. No person shall loiter on any private premises without invitation from the owner or occupant. It shall be an offense under this subsection for a person to refuse to discontinue such loitering after being requested to do so by a police officer or by the owner or occupant.[2]

Possession without consent and failure to return prohibited.

The notice date shall be the date of mailing.
C. 
Concealment. The concealment of library materials 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 detained person shall be promptly informed of the purpose of the detention and be permitted to make telephone calls, but shall not be 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.
