A common complaint of librarians is that parents often think that it’s okay to leave their kids unattended at the library. In response to a state of Georgia energy saving mandate that will close the state’s schools Monday and Tuesdays, some libraries will be opening early to accommodate children, six and older, whose parents work.
Parents must accompany their children inside the library branch and complete an information contact sheet, Edwards said. Children also will need to bring a lunch and snack.
Muller said children age 6 and under can’t be left alone at the library but the emergency service can help children in second, third or fourth grades.
