[Michlib-l] Unattended Minor Age

[Library Director]

We recently changed ours to 12, but that is because of our building layout, location, and community. I wish I felt comfortable with a lower age to help with community confidence building but just don't feel I can do so.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Unattended Minor Age

Hello Everyone,

I am emailing to ask at what age are kids permitted to be in the library unattended by a supervising adult?  We are looking to review our policy and wanted to see what cap other libraries have.

Thanks,

Sarah Rick
Library Director
