Laura,
Yes, I think it is definitely something that should be included in library policy. I can't imagine a public library not having this problem. Our policy is that children under 6 years have to have someone (parent or adult caretaker) with them at all times, and children 6-10 years must have someone in the building at all times, but they do not have to be right there with them. So children 11 years and older can be in the library by themselves.

What do you do about unattended children in your library? Is it even a problem at your library? Is it something that needs to be written into the library policy? If so, is there an age cut-off? Please post responses to this list. Thanks, all!
