After School Policies
Madison is blessed with some very nice children who need a safe, supervised place to “hang out” and to “kill time” after school. However, after our experience with an influx of children from past school years, that place is not the Public Library.
Children attending high school (grades 9-12) are permitted in the Library without adult supervision and are expected to abide by the same behavior guidelines as adults.
Children not yet attending high school (grades 9-12) (or the equivalent for home schooling) are not permitted in the Library unless accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
Children from the age of 6 to those attending 9th grade may attend a Library program without a parent present in the Library under the following conditions:
A library permission slip signed by a parent or legal guardian for the specific day and program is submitted when the child arrives for the program.
The child arrives to attend the program no more than 10 minutes before it begins.
A parent or responsible adult is present to meet the child at the end of the program.
A child using inappropriate behavior will be informed of the rules. If inappropriate behavior continues, the child will be asked to leave the Library.
On 2/10/25, starting at 9pm EST, you might experience intermittent interruptions with the catalog as CLEVNET conducts system upgrades. CLEVNET expects the upgrades to be completed overnight.
