Child-sized Railings
by Cory Grimminck 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

We are a two-story library, with the children's area on the lower level. There are two flights of stairs to get to the lower level, and we currently have a regular, adult-sized, built-to-code, ADA-compliant railing. Recently, a patron attended our board meeting to suggest that we install a lower railing for small children to hold while using the stairs. Has anyone installed a lower railing for children? If so, has it caused behavioral issues with children climbing on it? If not, did you ever consider installing one? Thanks, Cory Grimminck Portland District Library

Hello, Our Library (Class 4) is investigating the possibility of having an after school monitor or security guard. We were wondering what other libraries' experiences were. Did they use a company? Volunteer? How did it work out? If you are willing to share your experiences, please reply off list to wilmaflintstone1616(a)yahoo.com. Thanks very much!
