Ours is 8, but they only need to be accompanied by a caregiver who is 13 or older. We're a very walkable library, so a lot of siblings come together.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Unattended Minor Age
Hello Everyone,
I am emailing to ask at what age are kids permitted to be in the library unattended by a supervising adult? We are looking to review our policy and wanted to see what cap other libraries have.
Thanks,
Sarah Rick
Library Director
