Sponsor a summer reading incentive program for both children and teens in conjunction with the Massachusetts Regional Public Library Systems. The Children's Room provides support to local teachers and their classes. During the school year our Children's Librarians work with school children to develop their library skills. We offer orientation and library instruction to all elementary school classes three times each school year. The Children's Room staff is also available to answer reference questions and to help children in gathering information for projects.
Parents are responsible for what their children read.
Parents are responsible for what their child is allowed to borrow or use in our library and should make their rules clear to their own children. Under Massachusetts Law, what any person borrows from our library is confidential, regardless of the person's age. When your child checks materials out we can print a list at that time, but we cannot tell you later what your child has borrowed using his or her own card. Other Services Maintain public bulletin board. Provide referral to other agencies or special libraries for information.
