Library Account Records of Children
The library's Board of Trustees has approved a policy that current library records of children 12 and under should be available to their parents or guardians. Parents of children age 12 and under may ask for and obtain the titles of materials that their children currently have checked out.
Records of cardholders, age 13-18, are confidential, as are adult records.
