Carnegie Library, Oakland.
An eccentric looking older man in a smoking jacket, ski cap, and wraparound sunglasses approaches a reference librarian:
Eccentric Man: So, let me get this straight: Do you condone shadow boxing in here?
[The librarian stares, confused.]
Eccentric Man: I mean, I wouldn’t be allowed to go out in the hallway and shadow box?
Librarian: Ummm… no, I don’t believe so.

They do have the bamboo patio. Maybe he could shadow box there….
The trick is not to ask permission, in my experience.

In my library the response would be:
Librarian: Use the empty conference room - knock yourself out!!!
