Summer break is near! Here are a few safety reminders as we head into the season:

☀️Keep our Unattended Children Policy in mind:
Grades 2 and below should be supervised by an adult at all times
Grades 3 and 4 must have an adult somewhere within the library
Grades 5 and up can use the library unattended

🍉If your child is old enough to be at the library by themselves, make sure they know how to contact you in case of an emergency.

🍧When picking up your child, please arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the library closing. We close at 8pm Monday - Thursday and 4pm Friday - Saturday.

⛵When registering your child for summer programs, use the grade that they’ll be entering in the fall.

Thank you for helping to keep the library a safe and happy place this summer!
