Can my child be in the Children’s Room alone?
Per our Unattended Child policy, children ages 0-7 must be accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian/responsible caregiver who is at least 14 years of age. Children ages 8-12 may be left unaccompanied in the Children’s Room while their guardian pursues other activities in the Library, provided the child is able to use the Library independently, without supervision. Children ages 13 and older may use the Library without an adult in attendance, provided the child is able to use the Library independently, without supervision. Children ages 13-18 left unaccompanied must be able to contact a guardian in case of emergency.
