Wiggin Memorial Library
The Wiggin Memorial Library encourages people of all ages to visit the library. Those using the library and its resources have the right to expect a safe, comfortable environment that supports library services. For the most enjoyable use of the library, we expect all library users to observe common courtesy toward other library users and library staff.
People demonstrating discourteous or disruptive behavior will be required to leave the library after two warnings on the same occasion from library staff. Disruptive and discourteous behavior includes (but is not limited to) misuse of library property and actions that deliberately disturb others or prevent the legitimate use of the library and its resources.
The Wiggin Memorial Library welcomes children to visit the
library and encourages them to read, to explore various electronic formats, to
attend programs and to make full use of the library resources. However, young children are not safe when
left unattended in the library. Children
under 10 can not be left unaccompanied by an adult in the library
building. Children under 5 can not be
left unattended in any room of the library, including the Children’s Room. In addition, parents/guardians are
responsible for the behavior of their children in the library, whether or not
the parents are present. When older
children are visiting the library by themselves, the adult responsible for the
child will be contacted if the child’s behavior is inappropriate for the
library and guidance from the staff has been ignored. If the adult cannot be reached and the
behavior is deemed dangerous or unacceptably disruptive, the police will be
notified. We recommend that children visiting the
library unaccompanied by an adult have contact information for a responsible
adult in case transportation is needed.
Adults should also note that the library closes at
