Children's Room Rules:
- Responsibility for supervising and insuring the safety and behavior of children in the library or on library grounds belongs to the parent, not the library personnel.
- A child under the age of 7, or whose physical, mental, emotional, or social development requires close parental attention to ensure his/her safety and appropriate behavior, should NOT be left alone anywhere in the library - including in the Children's Room.
- Children between 7 and 9 may use the Children's Room alone unless they require the parental supervision listed in the previous statement. However, an adult must stay inside the library at all times.
- Library staff does not assume a supervisory role while a parent is participating in programs or activites in the library.
- We kindly ask that you do not consume food in the room.
