  • A child who has a library card may access all available library materials, including books, movies and other materials.
  • A child aged 12 through 15 may be given permission to use the Library's Internet-accessible computers by the parent or legal guardian during the card application process.
  • A child has the same rights to privacy and confidentiality as any other patron.
  • The parent or guardian who has signed the application has the right to restrict use of the library by withdrawing the child's personal library card at any time.
