Children in the University Libraries’ Policy
A parent or adult caregiver must accompany children under the age of 18 (unless the
minor is an enrolled KSU student) and monitor their activities and behavior while
they are in the University Libraries. Library staff cannot attend to unaccompanied
or unsupervised children, nor be responsible for their safety. Even under an adult's
supervision, children are not allowed to use library computers.
When a child is disruptive to other patrons, the adult guardian will be asked to take
the child out of the library. If the adult responsible for the child's welfare is
not present, a staff member will contact the Department of Public Safety to report
the situation. The child may be removed from the library by the proper authorities.
