PCC Library Guidelines and Policies: Children

The Library welcomes children of all ages; however, for their safety and comfort as well as in recognition of the rights and privileges of other library patrons, parents and adult caregivers are asked to observe the following:

  • Any child under the age of 14 who is not enrolled in a Pima Community College program must be supervised by a parent or adult caregiver at all times while inside the library. 
  • Parents and adult caregivers are responsible for the conduct of the children under their supervision and should monitor their activities and behavior while they are in the Library.
  • The Library is dedicated to providing all of our patrons with free and equal access to information; as such, there are no filters on access to the internet on library computers. Library staff does not monitor access to or use of such resources. Parents who wish their children not to have access to certain types materials should accompany their children to the library and monitor their use of its resources.

Library staff cannot oversee unescorted or unsupervised children, nor be responsible for their safety. If an unescorted child comes to the attention of Library personnel, staff will evaluate the situation and try to contact a parent or caregiver at the Library. If the adult responsible for the child's welfare is not present, a staff member will contact the PCC Police Department to report the situation and seek assistance.
