“My opinion is if like an adult is using a computer and they
have just one card and the child wants to go downstairs they can still use the
computer. That’s my opinion.”
I’m a little unclear on the situation, but I think the issue
is the child being allowed to use a computer at the same time as an adult
caregiver when they have only one library card between them. There are several
factors at play here. The most important is the age of the child.
If the child is under 8 years old, the caregiver needs to be
with the child at all times. While the Library is generally perceived as a safe
place, it is still a public building where caregivers are expected to monitor
the children in their care. In this case, the adult cannot be on a computer on
the upper level while the child goes to the lower level. However, any adult
accompanied by a child is welcome to use the computers on the lower level.
If the child is under 11 years old, the caregiver must be
with the child in order for the child to use a computer. Again, this can be
best accommodated at the computers on the lower level.
For access to a second computer, ask a staff member for a
guest pass to sign in.
