Guidelines for Kids

Our library is a shared space for all ages

It’s important to be mindful of those around you. Please engage in appropriate topics of conversation, and be aware of the language you’re using during your visit.

 

Respect personal space

Hitting, kicking, and other aggressive behavior are not allowed in our library

 

Remember to show kindness

Please refrain from talking negatively about your peers, and expect the same behavior from others.

 
Make suggestions

If you’ve read something wonderful and see that we don’t own it, or have a great idea for a program, we’d like to hear about it. We value your ideas.

 

Remember you’re indoors

No need to shout to be heard. If a friend is outside hearing range, walk to where they are rather than raising your voice.

 

You’re responsible for your personal belongings

Backpacks, laptops, instruments, and other personal belongings should not be left unattended in the library. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

 
Leave a clean space

After school food and beverage privileges have been suspended for the remainder of the school year. If you bring snacks or drinks to enjoy outside, it remains your responsibility to see that all bottles and packaging make it into the trash/recycling.

Responsible behavior is expected at the library the same way it is expected in any other public space.
