Unattended Children Policy
It is the policy of the Farmington Public Library Association, Goodwin Public Library, that no child or children age eight or younger may enter the library or remain in the library unless they are accompanied by a parent or other supervising adult who shall have responsibility for the supervision and control of the child or children. This requirement for adult supervision shall include both normal use of the library and all its services and attendance at Library functions including Story Hour and other projects. Library staff are not responsible for supervising children on the premises. If in the opinion of the librarian, a child is not being adequately supervised, the patron and child shall be requested to leave the library.

Reminder to Parents
MySpace.com and YouTube.com are two of the most popular websites visited by children between the ages of 10 and 13 here in the library. These sites present dangers for your children as their personal information can be accessed by cyberbullies and child predators at any time. While MySpace.com has policies in place that require children to be 14 years old before they have an account there, they cannot monitor every account. YouTube.com is not intended for children under 13 years and has a policy that an account holder must be 18 years of age. Here at the library the internet is not filtered; neither can we be policing every child on their internet use. We strongly suggest that you go to MySpace.com and YouTube.com to learn about their terms of use agreement and discuss these issues of personal privacy and safety with your children.
