Is this the same Galiano?

the venue is a satellite library, open to the public, on a large state U., run by a government affairs think tank. It’s a reading room with a large selection of opinion mags, reference volumes on election statistics and voter behavior, and a few computers with internet access. An older man, obviously a non-student, begins coming in almost every day to read magazines and surf the web. There are no Kreimer problems – he’s clean, well-dressed, doesn’t speak to anyone, abides the rules, and has never caused any kind of scene. One day in the summer, he’s the only patron in the room when somebody comes in and starts talking to the librarian in a real loud voice. Apparently she’s doing some kind of research project for the librarian, who’s an Institute staffer. The older guy gets her attention and politely suggests, “not quite so loud?” She gives a cheerful “sorry” and no other words pass. But the librarian calls the library Director, who enters the room and tells older guy that he is not allowed to address other patrons directly. Instead he has to “go through staff.” The older guy goes, “Excuse me? That’s unreasonable.” He asks the the Director if any policy or rule has been promulgated to this effect, but the Director gives no answer. Then he asks the if there’s something personal, and at this point Director tells him to leave the library or the police will be called. Tuns out, the guy is a semi-retired campus grad. Any free speech problems here?
