Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a responsible person (14+), other than library staff, at all times, including during events and activities. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in the library. Due to the multiple demands on staff time and attention, library staff are not able to supervise children in the library. The library is a public space that may be accessed by anyone, and children and young people under the age of 18 remain the responsibility of their legal guardian while on library premises. We will be consulting children and young people and their families on our Library Charter early in 2025, if you wish to participate, please contact libraries@eastlothian.gov.uk
