Unattended Children Policies
We are exploring our existing policy concerning unattended children, and we want to get a feel for how other libraries handle this issue. Please let us know what your policies are regarding children coming into your library. We're concerned about age ranges and when you require adult supervision. Thanks, Steven F. Smith Administrative Librarian Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48124 (313) 943-2812 ssmith@ci.dearborn.mi.us
I would also be interested in this information, if anyone is inclined to share.
