Junior Room Behavior
The Oradell Public Library wants children and adults using our library to find it a safe, pleasant, and inviting place to read and learn.
 
These rules pertain to children and behavior on the 2nd floor of the Oradell Public Library (hereinafter “Library”), known as the “Junior Room”.
 
To maintain the safety of your child, do not:
  • Allow any child in a grade below seventh (7th) to use the basement level of the library. They must remain on either the first or second floors.
  • Leave a child under the age of eight (8) unattended in the library without adult supervision.
  • Request staff to protect or monitor children.
  • Fail to have your children wear proper attire (including shoes and shirts).
 
To preserve a peaceful and pleasant environment, adults and children are not allowed to:
  • Engage in disruptive conduct including loud talking, rude language, making rude and/or excessive noises, running, pushing, and fighting.
  • Talk on cell phones.
 
To protect our facility and materials, your child will not be allowed to:
  • Steal, damage, or mark library materials, premises, or equipment.
  • Misuse the restrooms.
  • Bring food and drink into the library. Eating and drinking (other than using the water fountain) is prohibited. Food will be confiscated if Staff sees it or smells it.
 
The Junior Room is for children and teens and their caretakers. If Library staff feels that adults in the Junior Room unaccompanied by their children are excessively using this space and resources, which may result in creating an uncomfortable environment for the children or limiting their usage of the space, they will be asked to leave.
 
Tutoring is permissible in the Junior Room in designated areas only, as long as there is not a library or library-approved program. All tutoring must come to an end 15 minutes before the Junior Room closes.
 
Caregivers are expected to be attentive to the children in their care. If Library staff feels the children are engaging in unsafe behavior, either to themselves or others around them, or damaging Library property, the staff has the right to prohibit within the Junior Room:
  • Cell phone use
  • Sleeping
  • Reading (in the case that the adult is not paying attention to their children)
  • Excessive socializing
Tutoring
A note about tutoring:
Tutoring is permissible in the Junior Room in designated areas only, as long as there is not a library or library-approved program. All tutoring must come to an end 15 minutes before the Junior Room closes. Please note that we close at 4:45 on Fridays, thus, tutoring must be done by 4:30.
 
For overall behavior rules for all patrons, please consult the Behavior Policy.
For specific rules pertaining to the Young Adult Room, please consult the Young Adult Room Policy.
 
If a child fails to observe these library rules and regulations, the parent/guardian will be called and the child will be asked to leave. In extreme cases, the police will be called.
 
Adults who fail to observe these rules and regulations are held to the penalties in the Library Behavior Policy.
