Parent/Guardian Responsibilities 

Children under 12 must be accompanied by and visually supervised by the adult with whom they came. Running, climbing, and being loud are not allowed and may result in the adult being asked to remove the child until the behavior is appropriate for the library. Children under 18 may have their own library card linked to a parent or guardian’s adult account. The parent or guardian assumes full financial responsibility for items checked out on their children’s cards.
