📚🎒 Back to School Reminder! 🎒📚

As a new school year begins, we’re excited to welcome kids back to the library! ❤️📖

A few important reminders for families:

👧 Children ages 8 and older may be in the library without a parent or guardian. Children under 8 MUST have a parent or guardian with them.

🚲 Please use the bike rack! Bikes should be parked at the designated bike rack, not on the sidewalk or in front of the library doors. This keeps our entrances and sidewalks clear and accessible for everyone.

🏡 The library is not a daycare. While we are happy to provide a safe and welcoming place for children to read, learn, use the computers, and participate in activities, library staff cannot supervise children as a childcare service. Responsibility for the
safety and behavior of children while in the Library belongs to the parent or caregiver.

🍎 Food is not allowed in the library unless it is a part of a library program.

Thank you for helping us keep the library a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable place for everyone! 💙📚
