2) because of one of the programs they run is in the building the offices of this non-profit, for SEVERAL HOURS, the building is on lock-down,
Huh?
But yeah, lockdown? The fuck? Also, I'm betting that holiday thing is flat out illegal too.

I guess the org organizes a program that allows dads who beat their wives/partners to interact with their children, and that time together takes place at the house that serves also as the offices of the org. So, I assume to prevent these men from kidnapping their kids, or whatever, they are on lockdown.
Yeah, in a fire or other emergency, you really want to have many CHILDREN trapped in a building too.

Because books.
I get that cost might be an issue, but surely some kind of bracelet (like the ones they put on parents/newborns in hospitals) would be smarter than locking everyone in the building.

I am just flabbergasted that ONE person for a MOMENT thought this was a good and feasible idea, let alone making it a program and process. OMG.

Well, here's the locked door law. [link]
Now to try to find the weird vacation/holiday thing. I have found a bunch of stuff on labor, but this particular thing never comes up.

Haven't quite worked up to that. Can I call and ask on behalf of a friend? Will they make me spill information?

I wouldn't think that you have to give them any information. Just call and ask if there is a law or regulation against requiring employees use vacation days on a holiday when they are required not to come to work.
eta: or, if you find me the number, I'll call.
