Guarda todas las sorpresas y entrega tu caja de libros antes de la fecha de vencimiento. Las cajas son gratuitas, pero es necesario inscribirse y las cajas son limitadas.

BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DEL ÁREA DE ROUND LAKE

Lo siguiente es un resumen de las normas adoptadas por el Consejo de Administración de la Biblioteca el día 15 de Marzo, 2006

Niños menores de 10 años deben estar acompañados a toda hora en la Biblioteca por un guardián de 14 años o mayor.  Si un niño menor de 10 años atiende un programa donde no se requiere la presencia de un guardian, el guardian responsable deberá permanecer en la Biblioteca.

Por favor asegúrese de venir por su hijo/a rápidamente después de que la biblioteca cierre. En caso de que un niño/a menor de 18 años se quede esperando, el personal de la Biblioteca intentará de comunicarse con los padres/guardián por teléfono. Si después de 20 minutos no hay contacto con los padres/guardián, se le avisará al Departamento de Policía de Round Lake para que tomen custodia del niño/a.
