What happens when a child is left at the Library after closing?
Parents are responsible for being aware of the Library’s hours and for picking up their children on time. Children are encouraged to contact their parents before closing to verify that transportation is available. Children under the age of 16 left unattended at closing time may be deemed at risk. If a child under the age of 16 is not picked up within 15 minutes of the Library’s closing time, the Carol Stream Police Department will be called. Under no circumstances will Library staff transport any child in their personal car or library vehicle to the child’s home or to any other location.
