New policy to make library safer for kids

Some interesting happenings down at the Midland County TX public library. The Commissioners’ Court approved Johnson’s request to enact a policy that would allow library staff to prohibit adults not accompanied by children from loitering in the children’s section of the library. Johnson said there would be exceptions for adults picking up books for their children or researching children’s literature.

“All I’m asking is if there is an adult acting differently, we can ask them to sit elsewhere,” Johnson said.
