Napa County Library welcomes children of all ages. Our libraries are public buildings. Any public place may be dangerous for a child who is left unattended even for brief periods of time. Parents and other caregivers are solely responsible for the welfare and the behavior of children using the library. Children under eight years old must be supervised by a responsible caregiver at all times while in the library. A child left alone at the library without a responsible caregiver may become bored or frightened. If a child under the age of eight is left unattended in any area of the library (or an unattended child eight or older is found frightened, crying, being disruptive or in distress), staff will attempt to locate the child’s caregiver. If library staff cannot find the child’s parent or caregiver, law enforcement will be notified and asked to assume care of the child.
