Registration for regular weekly storytimes is not required.  However, for most other children’s programming we request (sometimes require!) online registration so staff can be prepared for the correct number of attendees – especially for craft programs.

The monthly Family Program Guide calendar indicates which programs require registration.

Children are permitted to have their own personal library card as soon as their parents/caregivers are ready for them to have a card.  Parents/Caregivers are responsible for all the responsibilities of a library card holder and should have the library card number and password to facilitate their child’s use of the card.  For additional information, please see our Library Cards Policy.

A child aged 6 and under may never be left alone at the library even for a short period of time.  They must be accompanied and the parent/guardian or caregiver must remain within sight and conversation distance of the child at all times.

A child 7, 8 or 9 years old need not be in the immediate presence of a parent or caregiver at the library, but the parent/guardian or caregiver of the child must be somewhere in the library at all times.

A child aged 10 and over may use the library unattended for an amount of time appropriate to his/her age and maturity, subject to the child complying with the FLNT’s Behavior and Banning Guidelines Policy.

For additional information, please see our Unattended Child Policy.
