Policy on Unattended Children

Parents and Caregivers: A Reminder of our Unattended Children Policy

Children under the age of 12 years must be accompanied by a caregiver (responsible adult over the age of 18) at all times while in the library.  If a child under the age of 12 is attending a library program, the parent/caregiver must not leave the building for any reason.

The full policy can be read by clicking here.

Attention: Programming Notice

Our programs have been very successful and registration lists are full.  We love seeing our community having so much fun at the library!

However, we have been dealing with a lot of no-shows for some of our programs.  This is a waste of resources and means that other people have not been able to attend programs that they really wanted to come to.

If your plans change and you are unable to come to a program that you are registered for, please call the library at least 24 hours in advance to cancel your registration so that we can open up your spot to another person.

Please be aware that going forward if you fail to cancel your registration for one of our programs, you will be removed from any future program registrations.
