 LIBRARY POLICY ON UNATTENDED CHILDREN
The library staff, recognizing that parents/guardians are the primary caregivers,
cannot take responsibility for the supervision of children left unattended in the library.
For their protection and well being, children, nine to twelve years, may not be left
unattended for more than two hours unless attending a scheduled library program. It is the responsibility of the parent to know the library's closing time.
Children who are seven or eight years of age may spend time on their own in the
children's area of the library. However, a parent or caregiver (over the age of 14) should be in the building.
Children who are six years of age or younger must be attended by a parent or a
responsible childcare provider (over the age of 14) while in the library. Parents of preschoolers who attend Storyhour must be with the child until the program begins and present when the program is over.
Parents are responsible for their child's behavior while in the library.
