Call the local police and ask for a welfare check They will handle it. I've called when unattended children are in the library during a school day. Called when a staff member had repeated broken bones (it was spousal abuse). They will contact family, CPS, and give rides home.

The patron told me that there were no adults in the home at the time of the call and that the mothers of the children were unreachable. At what point are we compelled to call CPS if we hear information like this? I am not sure if I am required to report, if I should report, or if I should encourage my patron to report this information. Kat Boyer Interim Director Benton Harbor Public Library
