Three of these are dedicated to our on-line catalog, through which library users can locate materials in our library as well in all members of the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium. Other computers have reference sources such as multimedia encyclopedias. Internet access is available in the Children's Room. All users must read and sign the Internet Access Policies and Regulations hand-out, which further explains our policies and outlines parental responsibility. The Tewksbury Public Library encourages parents to share with their children the exploration of the resources available through the internet.
Parents are responsible for supervising their children.
Two full time library staff members are assigned to the Children's Room, Our Children's Librarian is Kathleen Kirwin. Our Children's Specialist is Pat Powers. Additionally, Members of our support staff assist with various duties in the Children's Room, and our high school Pages can be seen after school and on Saturdays re-shelving books and helping with other tasks. We receive grants under the federally-funded Library Services and Technology Act. The Tewksbury Cultural Council subsidizes most programming, and the Friends of the Library donate materials for our arts and crafts series.
