Teen Collections and Programming
ATTENTION:
The Geneva Public Library aims to provide minors with a comfortable and pleasant environment for study, leisure reading, or computer use. We also schedule many programs targeting minors throughout the year.
Parents, however, should be mindful that the library is a public building open to all individuals and they are responsible for the actions and safety of their young adults. Although a public building, it is not the library’s function or purpose to be a place of social gathering for minors.
Recently, the Geneva Public Library has experienced an increase in inappropriate behavior, property damage, and illegal conduct by minors on library grounds and within the library building.
To protect all of our patrons, library staff, and the library property, effective immediately, the following limits will be strictly enforced:
