CHILDREN’S CODE OF CONDUCT

  • Children 0 through 6 years old MUST be accompanied and supervised by a responsible caretaker at all times
  • Children 7 through 9 years old MUST have a responsible caretaker somewhere in the library during their visit
  • WALK, DON’T RUN
  • USE INSIDE VOICES
  • Treat library materials respectfully
  • Only assistance animals are allowed in the library

Books not checked out should be left stacked neatly on a table.

Puppets, puzzles, and other active toys should be picked up, placed in their containers and returned to their proper spaces so the next child can enjoy them.

If children are left unattended at the library and no responsible caregiver can be found or contacted, the McMinnville Public Library staff must, by law, contact the Police Department. An officer will come to pick up the child and continue to try to contact the caregiver. This is for your child’s safety and well being.
