New Security Policy

Hello All,

The policy for unattended children has been changed to the following:

- New policy states that children between the ages of seven years old and fourteen years old should not be left unattended and/or unsupervised for more than one hour or at closing time.

Also,the current policy does not discuss children who are at our libraries during school hours. The new policy addresses it by stating:

- New policy states that the City of Houston curfew for minors 17 and under is between the hours of 9 am - 2:30 pm on a weekday. The Houston Police Department or the Harris County Constable will be contacted when unaccompanied minors are in the library during this curfew time. (City of Houston Ordinance, Chapter 28, Article 5, Section 28 171-175)


Thanks,
James
