At our library, parents or guardians need to sign for anyone under 18
years of age
applying for a library card. At that time, parents have the option
of giving permission for the child to check out any videos, use our
public use computers or become a registered user for our Internet
station.
These privileges or lack thereof are then indicated on the child's
library
card. =20
If the child has permission to check out videos, they are not restricted
as to what videos they check out, just as they are not restricted as to
what books they check out. For the most part, this is not a problem. I
am aware of one occasion when parents were concerned because
their high-school-age teen (but not yet 17) checked out an R-rated
video. They didn't think he should have been allowed to check it out.
I don't
think this is a recurrent problem however. =20
It's possible that if the Library placed itself in the role of watchdog
- carding
patrons for ID as movie theatres do - someone would slip through the
cracks.
Some parents would also have no problem with their under 17-year-olds
checking
out R-rated videos. Ultimately it comes down to the parents
communicating their
guidelines to their children and dealing with them if they feel the
children have
ignored the guidelines. I think if access to materials is explained=20
thoroughly when the parents are getting their child a library card, they
can make
an informed decision as to if they want their child to have video
privileges.
(My opinions.)
Hope this helps.

I am a library school student looking for some input from other

s concerning children and R-rated movies for an assignment. =3D20
For whoever chooses to reply, what is your library policy concerning

many

complaints from patrons that your library owns R-rated videos? How does

your library handle any complaints or problems?

Dear Wise Ones,
I need your suggestions on dealing with a
situation we have. We have a young boy who comes into
the children's room, and requires a lot of our
attention. He is well-behaved (usually), 11 years old,
but appears much younger as he is small in stature. He
also has a severe communication problem (There may be
other disabilities and challenges we are unaware
of--we do know that he is in a grade 4-5 special
education class).
His father drops him off, and goes to another
section of the library to read newspapers or magazines
while his son plops himself down in front of our
juvenile games computers. The "problem" we have is
that the child is constantly coming to us for
assistance with the games (he will click on the wrong
keys and end up somewhere he shouldn't and wants some
help getting back to whatever.) In a 30 min period, he
will come to us 6-7 times, and it is the same with the
other staff working here. He has been in every day
this week (school vacation) and stays as long as 90
min-2 hrs.
We try to help him as best we can, but if we
can't go to him immediately, he won't leave us alone
(and this includes when we are trying to help other
patrons.) He also will stand over other children using
the computers, while he is waiting for his turn, and
seemingly doesn't understand us when we ask him to
move away from that area until it is his turn. He will
also "play" on the OPACS, and call us over to help
him, not understanding that they aren't games. In the
past, there have been complaints made by other parents
about his bothering their children
Your expertise in working this this young boy
would be greatly appreciated. We get very little
accomplished during the time he is here; last summer,
he was here on a daily basis and we would like to have
a plan in action if it gets to be difficult. Our
policy is that children under nine need to be
accompanied by a parent, so that doesn't apply in this
situation. One thought we have had is setting time
limits for daily computer usage (not just because of
him!), but that doesn't really address this issue. The
father, by the way, has been very difficult to work
with.
Please email me directly at booklover32@yahoo.com
and I will gladly share the responses, if requested.
We are trying to be supportive, but it is getting
difficult as we are being placed in a baby-sitting
situation.
Thanks greatly,
Nadine

I have a stumper for y'all.
A patron came in today to find a book he read as a child. (now in his late
20's early 30's) The book is about an albino boy who had an uncle named
Uncle Meriweather or something like that. Turns out the uncle is actually
Merlin but he changed his name to hide this from others.
The patron is now professional magician and would like to find this book
again that sparked his childhood interest in the field. TIA
