Can children visit E. H. Butler Library, and what are the rules for their supervision and use of resources?
Answer
E. H. Butler Library welcomes patrons of all ages. However, to ensure the safety of children and the appropriate use of library resources, the following policies apply:
- A child is defined as anyone who appears to be under the age of sixteen.
- Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times while in the library. Unaccompanied children will be reported to University Police.
- Any disruptive child who uses library resources inappropriately or damages materials or equipment will be reported to University Police.
- Library computers are intended for use by Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff. Because these computers lack content filters, adults may not log children in for use.
- Library staff are not responsible for supervising children, locating accompanying adults, or determining a child's age. All concerns or policy issues will be referred to University Police.
