Children in the Library

Children under the age of 9 (nine) years of age may not be left unattended at the library. They must be accompanied by a responsible person 14 years of age or older who will watch them while here. Parents are expected to be supervising their young children while within the library. Children 9 and over may visit for limited sessions through the day. The library is not a daycare, nor your babysitter. Disruptive children or any who are sick will be asked to leave.

We often take pictures at library events to use in library publicity materials and on our website. If you do not want us to use a picture of you or your child, please let staff know.

If a child is in the library unattended, efforts will be made to contact parents or guardian. Library staff cannot provide transportation to take a child home or to transport a child to another location due to liability issues. Parents must pick up their children before closing time or they will be left at the police department.

Meeting Rooms For Public Use

To reserve a meeting room, ask the Librarian. You will need to inquire each time the room is needed. Meeting rooms are assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
