Policies of the Neuschafer
Community Library
ARTICLE XVI - PATRON RESPONSIBILITIES AND
CONDUCT
Adopted 10/3/99
Section 1.
In order to be in compliance with
state and federal clean air laws, there will be no smoking in
any area of the Neuschafer Community Library.
Section 2.
It is the patron’s responsibility
to maintain necessary and proper behavior standards in order
to protect his/her individual rights and the rights and privileges
of other patrons. If a patron creates a public nuisance, that
patron may be restricted from the library and from the use of
library facilities. Those who are unwilling to leave or do not
leave within a reasonable amount of time, after being instructed
to do so by the staff, will be subject to the law.
Section 3.
Young Children.
- The Neuschafer Community Library encourages
visits by young children and it is our desire to make this
important visit both memorable and enjoyable for the child. Library
staff
is not expected to assume responsibility for the care of unsupervised
children in the library.
- Therefore, it is library policy
that all children under the age of six must be accompanied
by a parent
or designated responsible person while in the library. Also,
if the young child is attending a library program, we require
the parent/responsible persons to remain in the library throughout
the program.
Section 4.
Disruptive Children.
- Children of all ages are encouraged to use
the library for homework, pleasure reading and program attendance.
The library staff realizes that the library will be noisier
at busy times and that children by nature can cause more commotion.
However, children whether with parents or not who are being
continually
disruptive will be dealt with firmly.
The child will be given a warning that he/she
must settle down or will be asked to leave the library. If after
the second warning the child continues to be disruptive, he/she
will be asked to leave the library. If the child needs to contact
a parent, they may do so and then wait in the hallway until the
parent arrives.
