Our staff may not and will not refuse to check out materials to a borrower because of his or her age. Ultimately, parents are responsible for their children's choice of materials. Some of the most asked-for titles are shelved in a special YA section located on the second floor of the adult collection. Additional titles are shelved within the adult collection. There is a PC available to young people in this department.
Children can sign up for a half-hour time slot.
Word processing and Internet access are available on a Children's Terminal in the Reference Department. The library Internet and Computer Policy requires a parent's signature for patrons under the age of 18, and parents are responsibile for monitoring their child's use of this resource. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent at the computer. The staff of Young People's Services will give tours of the main library as well as storytimes or book talks for school classes, scout troops or other groups at any of our locations. Arrangements must be made in advance by calling Young People's Services at 274-7071.
