UNATTENDED CHILDREN IN THE LIBRARY  
We would like to remind parents about our Unaccompanied Children policy and Library Code of Conduct for Public Library Behavior.  We ask that you remind your children of some rules of the library if you allow them to come to the library after school. 
All children under the age of eight (8) or one with special needs relating to physical and mental ability will be accompanied by their care provider at all times unless they are actively participating in a scheduled library activity.  Care providers for children under the age of eight (8) must be sixteen (16) years of age or older.  Older siblings under the age of sixteen (16) are not acceptable as care providers.
If the behavior of a child under the age of eight (8) becomes unacceptable, the parent or caregiver will be asked to correct the problem.  If the behavior continues, the parent or caregiver and child may be asked to leave the library.
Children eight (8) years of age and older may use the library unattended providing their behavior follows the Code of Conduct for Public Library Behavior.  Should the child’s behavior become unacceptable, the child will be asked to leave the library.  Concern for the child’s safety is paramount and an attempt will be made to locate the child’s parents so they are aware of the situation and may pick up their child if they wish.  If a parent cannot be located, the police may be called for assistance.
