LIBRARY MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the Library Director DATE: May 30, 2024
SUBJECT: Consider and approve Safety Policy for Children and Vulnerable Individuals
PRESENTER: Cecilia Barham, Library Director
SUMMARY:
The Safety Policy for Children and Vulnerable Individuals is presented, considered, and
approved by majority vote of the Library Board members at Library Board meetings.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Safety Policy for Children and Vulnerable Individuals.
Safety Policy for Children and Vulnerable Individuals
Overview
The North Richland HillsLibrary strives to provide a comfortable, safe,and welcoming environment for children of all
ages. The Library is a public building with staff trained to provide public library services, including programs and
resources offered to encourage children and help them develop a love of reading, offer access to educational resources,
and developmentally appropriate programming.
Appropriate library behavior (as outlined in thePatron Behavior Policy) is expected of all library patrons, regardless of
age.
Library staff donot actin loco parentis(in place of parents) for minors or vulnerable individuals while in the library
facility. A parent, legal guardian,or caregiver is responsible for monitoring the activities and managing the behavior of
minors or vulnerable individuals during their library visits.The responsibility for the safety and behavior of children in the
library rests with the parent/caregiver and not with the library staff.
Parents/guardians who leave their children unattended at the libraryare exposing their children to potential harm
and may be committing an offense under the Texas Penal Code, Section 22.041c: Endangering a Child.
Appropriate Supervision
Forsupervision, a caregiver is defined as a person 17 years or older who has emergency contact information and is
responsible for the child, children, or vulnerable in their care.
Age of ChildLevel of Supervision

An exception would be children ages sixand older attending a library
program without a parent/guardian in the room. However, the caregiveris
expected to remain in the library building and immediately join the child at
the end of the program.
Maybrowse the library independently. However, the caregiver is expected
Ages10-12
to remain in the library building and be available for the child in case of
emergency.
Ages 13 + May be left unattended, providing they understand and follow library rules
and observe proper conduct. Children are subject to the same rules of
behavior as other patrons and the same consequences, including being
asked to leave the building and premises.Continued inappropriate behavior
will result in the requirement that they be attended by a caregiver.
library is reserved for children, their parents or responsible adult caregivers, and adults
rn
for the safety of young patrons, adullibrary
may be asked to move to another area of the library.
Vulnerable individuals may not be left alone in the libraryand must have adequate supervision while in the library. These
patronsmust always have a guardian or caregiver in the immediate vicinity or in visual contactwhile in the library.
Unattended Children at Closing Time
Children who do not have transportation home at closing time will be asked for telephone numbers of people who can
pick them up at the library. If a child 16 or younger is not picked up within 15 minutes after closing, library staff will call
the NRH Police Dispatch. Two staff members are required to stay with the child or children until they are picked up.
Policy Violations
Repeated violations of this policy, or a single violation that endangers a child, vulnerable individual, another patron,or a
library staff member, may result in loss of library privileges.
