You play an important role in helping to make your child's library visits a positive experience. Please encourage your child to take care of the things they borrow from the library and return them on time. All the library's resources are available to your child. You may want to discuss with your child and family guidelines for choosing the books and other items they bring home. We encourage families to come to the library together.
Problems can arise if children are left at the library unattended.
Young children may become frightened or confused and wander away. Older children cannot be expected to deal with a small child who is frightened, tired or ill. Older children left on their own for extended periods may become bored and disruptive. Sicne the library is a public building, children might be approached by strangers. If an unattended child has a medical emergency the library staff cannot take legal responsibility.
