PARENTS/CAREGIVERS:
CAN YOUR CHILD BE ALONE AT THE LIBRARY?
Children are always welcome at the library. However, the library is a public building and very busy on a daily basis. For the protection and well-being of children, the Grafton Public Library has established an Unattended Child Policy.
Please note that program attendees must also comply with the Library’s Unattended Child Policy:
0-7 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times;
8-12 must be accompanied by parent/guardian remaining in the Library;
13+ may be unaccompanied provided child is able to use Library independently and follow the Library’s Code of Conduct.
Children under age 13 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian over the age of 14.

The C/WMars catalog will be down between 11 PM Saturday night (August 19) and will plan on being down until 4 PM on Sunday (August 20) while they upgrade the database server.
C/WMars will be replacing their old database server with a brand new, faster server. They will also be upgrading the Postgres database software underpinning the Evergreen ILS. These significant improvements will boost performance across the board.
The catalog will be completely unavailable during the upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience.
