Unattended Children Policy
The Oradell Public Library staff wants children and adults using our library to find it a safe, pleasant and inviting place to read and learn.
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, your child will not be allowed to:
Engage in disruptive conduct including loud talking, rude language, making noise, 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 or drink into the library. Eating and drinking (other than using the water fountain) is prohibited.
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.
