Policy on Unattended Children

Subject: Policy on Unattended Children
Date: March 20th 2015
Hello,

My library is reevaluating its current policy regarding unattended children in the library. At the moment, any child under six must be accompanied by an adult. I'd love to hear about the policies that other libraries have in place. How do you address this issue at your library?

Here is the current policy:

"Library staff members cannot assume responsibility for the care, safety, or well-being of children in the library. Therefore, parents (or responsible adult caretakers) may not leave children under six unattended in the children’s room or in any other part of the library, and they are responsible for the behavior of their children of any age while in the library. Children in the sixth grade or any lower grade are not permitted in the library building after 6:00 p.m. unless accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult."


Thank you!
Lauren
