While the library is perceived to be both safe and secure, our experience tells us that children may occasionally be at risk in the library. Here are some things to keep in mind. We have seen children hurt themselves and others when they run, climb on library furniture or shelving, swing on ropes, or stand too close to our sliding doors. Please help prevent injuries by watching your children at all times. Parents should be aware that there are areas of the library which are not supervised, and times when there are no Youth Services staff on duty.
Young children can become frightened and bewildered if left alone for even a minute or two.
For safety and security reasons, young children should never be left unattended. We have not been able to find a way to child-proof our computers. When children bang repeatedly on keyboards, it damages the computer and often results in a frozen and unusable terminal. We have added a toddler pretend-terminal for play. Please help us maintain our computers by keeping young children away from the computers.
