Rules
and Reminders for Library Behaviors
The library is a quiet place. Anyone who enters the
library is expected to pursue library-related activities quietly, without
disturbing others.
The library is not an after school daycare center or hang out.
It does not provide individual supervision or act in loco parentis.
Parents need to make other arrangements for that.
Library staff has the right to ask for a minor's name, their
parent's phone number, or to accompany them to school to meet with the Principal
or Assistant Principal.
The library is here for everyone. Senior citizens,
parents with small children, and library users doing serious research or private
quiet reading have the right to use the library without annoyance or
disruption.
