Guidelines for Youth and Caregivers

You and your children are welcome in the library, and we hope to see you soon. Please review the library's Child Patron and Youth Services Program Policies, which exist to help ensure your library visit is safe, productive, and a lot of fun.

Child Safety

The library is a busy place. While library staff are concerned for the well-being of children who visit, library staff cannot monitor their safety.

  • Children under the age of 10 must stay with a responsible adult at all times.
  • Children and accompanying siblings in violation of this policy will be given a copy of this policy and may be asked to leave the library.
  • Children under 12 left at the library at closing will be entrusted to the safekeeping of the Woodburn Police Department.
  • Adults attending meetings at the library must make arrangements for the adult supervision of their children

Library Conduct

  • Have quiet voices and bodies. No running, jumping, screaming, wrestling or other rowdy behavior. Preschoolers may be gently reminded to use their inside voices and walking feet.
  • Eat food or drink outside the library, baby bottles excepted.
  • Use materials safely. No throwing of books, Lego’s, puzzle pieces, or anything else.
  • Clean up. Pick up Lego’s, games, and puzzles after use.
  • Take turns on the computers
