Kids 14 and older can use the PCs near the Public Services Desk and many of our kiddos are now eligible to use those computers.
If noise or crowding becomes an issue, here are some things you can suggest or implement:
- One person per computer
- Remind users that the PS computers are primarily used for tasks like work or filling out applications.
- Remind patrons of their noise levels
- Encourage them to use the Youth Computer Lounge if they want to use the PCs in a more collaborative way
Behavior reminders: Patrons receive two warnings for disruptive behavior (e.g., noise). On the third reminder, they will be asked to leave the library for the day.
Please inform staff via Slack when a patron has been warned, including the number of warnings given, so everyone is aware of the situation.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
