Visitors to the library, including children and pre-college young people, are welcome to use the building for quiet study, reading and research. With the exception of a small children's book collection, James White Library provides materials for an adult audience. For this reason, the library may not be held responsible for anything which a child or young person may view, listen to, or borrow from the collections. Children and their parents should become aware of the following guidelines for children in James White Library.
Children are welcome provided that their purpose and behavior is appropriate for the library.
Small children should be supervised by a parent or responsible adult at all times when they are in the library. They should be kept quiet, and not be allowed to wander away from visual contact. Children may use the stand-up web stations in the reference area of the library to find information, provided that adults are not needing to use the terminals. Sit-down computer stations are for adult use only. Time permitting, library staff will assist children with school assignments only.
