Don’t be shy tell them to STFU...these people need to be dealt with in a profane way.
I have one of those cheap surgical masks that the guy at the door at Costco gave me in early April. I cut nine 1/4” slots in it so that I can breathe. I have to keep stapling the elastic bands on, but on the rare occasion where someone requires me to wear a mask, that’s the one I use. Nobody has ever complained.
It’s looking really ratty and coffee stained now, but that just adds to the effect. :)
I got so sick of Costco people tracking us down in the store when we take our masks off that we became Sam’s club members on saturday. Never wore a mask, even while waiting to get our membership. Nobody said squat.
We were Costco members since 1988...
My line.
Stop the tyranical bully crap, STFU
These people need to be excluded from society. Just ignore them. If you have one working for you, fire them. If one by change is an acquaintance (obviously can’t be a true friend) then cut them off - block their phone number, defriend them on social media if you use that crap, and so on. Make these people pay in loneliness.
Here in Florida our governor has basically set us free but the mayors refuse to release their “mandates,” The city of Jacksonville -probably at the demand of the Karens on NextDoor, has hired hundreds of “mask enforcers” who bicycle around and drop in on businesses and gatherings to enforce Herr Curry’s edicts. A few days ago, the bicycle mask enforcers broke up an outdoor nighttime concert (which had been permitted by the city) because some of the mostly young attendees had taken off their masks and were dancing. It’s nightmarish, like something out of Blade Runner.
Tell them to KYA. That’s been my response.

I keep it under my nose also and avoid eye contact with anyone so they can’t tsk me. I just pretend I’m in la la land. If they are motioning to me... I don’t see it!
We all remember her: That miserable wreck of a little girl in elementary school who took delight in telling the teacher about every little infraction you might have committed. Well, now the adult teacher’s pets of the world have this wonderful new toy to play with, and they’ll be damned if they can pass up so glowing an opportunity to tell you what to do.

Tell them that you are wearing a mask because you have CS.
Common Sense
Is it a law there? If not I’d respond by pulling my mask off quietly.
Its probably her job to check and likely a requirement to keep the library open to the public.
Of course, unless you are a mouth breather, the mask on but not over the nose does nothing.
I notice it is almost always men daring to go for that nonmask mask approach.
And I have no idea how much it is women being afraid to defy authority vs. just being unthinking sheep.
These people are getting experience to serve on HOA boards
My husband was at the grocery, alone in an aisle, and had pulled his mask down to call me on the phone about something. A Karen on a scooter rode by the aisle and yelled to him, “Pull your mask up”.
Unfreakingbelievable.
It might be a good idea to come up with your own racist term for white women. You know how blacks detest white copycats.
Not being a complete intolerant arsehole when it comes to muzzle-wearing (I'm at about 99%), I just turned around and left so the boy wouldn't get too excited or get into trouble with his master.
Do what I do.
Get yourself a body cam on Amazon (they aren’t terribly expensive) and have it turned-on and with you when you go into these places.
Then when approached by a Mask Karen tell them about your cam and that they are live in the World Wide Web right now. Ask them for their name and where they work.
You’ll see them run away as if you’d just lit a stick of dynamite.
