The Library welcomes your children to our library. In order to make the library a safe and pleasant environment for your children and others, the following rules have been established. 1. Children under the age of eight are not permitted without a parent/caretaker. Parents/caretakers are responsible for their children when they are in the library. 2. A parent/caretaker must remain in the building while children under age eight are attending special story times. 3. Children between the ages of eight and fifteen may use the library in an appropriate manner without parental/caretaker supervision. 4. A child whose behavior is disruptive (loudness, running, rudeness to others) may be asked to leave the library after receiving one warning. More significant or repeated disruptive behavior may result in limited library access. 5. The Britton Public Library and staff are not responsible for the welfare of the children who are left unattended in the library. 6. Please arrange to pick up our children before the library closes. Library hours are posted on the front door.
