Parents are responsible for their children’s behavior while in the library. Because the library does not provide child care services, it is not a proper environment for unattended children. The library does not have a minimum age for unattended children; however, if in the judgment of staff the child is too young to be left unattended or is disruptive, staff will attempt to contact the parent by phone and request that the parent picks up the child. If the parent cannot be contacted or refuses to pick up the child, or if the library is closing, the Department of Social Services will be called (656-4300). If the Department of Social Services personnel is unavailable, the appropriate law enforcement agency will be called.
