CHILDREN'S ROOM
BEHAVIOR POLICY
The Boylston Public Library strives to provide a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment for children of all ages. The Children’s Room is designed for ages 0-12, and welcomes active learning and play in many forms. Patrons of all ages are instructed to respect the space, respect themselves, and respect others.
1. Children ten (10) and younger must be accompanied and supervised by a
parent or designated caregiver at all times. Neither the Town of Boylston, the
Boylston Public Library, nor the Library staff can be held responsible for the
safety of young children. During children’s library programs, caregivers must
remain in the building. Regardless of age, any youth not respecting Library
property or other patrons may, at the discretion of staff, be required to be
supervised by their caregiver or asked to leave the library.
2. Use your indoor voice. Be aware and respectful of other Library users and
staff.
3. Respect Library property and treat it with care. Toys, games and books
should be cleaned up after use.
4. The internet is not restricted or filtered on Library laptops and iPads. Parents
are responsible for monitoring their children’s internet use in the Library.
