Oldham
County Public Library
Library Services for Minors Policy
The Oldham County Public Library will not restrict access to any library materials to minors based on the content of those materials nor will any library service be denied any library patron solely on the basis of the age of that patron.
Anyone under eighteen (18) years of age who applies for a library card at any library in the Oldham County Public Library system must have their age and the signature of their parent or guardian on the library card application. The parent or guardian signing the library card application is agreeing to the stipulation printed on the application, and on the library card, that they will be responsible for the suitability of contents of any materials checked out to that minor as well as for the prompt return of those materials in good condition.
After the minor patron is issued a library card, he/she will have access to all library materials and services except such library materials and services which are restricted due to special circumstances pertaining to the nature of the materials and/or services (see Restricted Materials Policy).
This policy is based on the Library Bill of Rights, *the Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights, and the Free Access to Libraries for Minors adopted by the American Library Association. These documents are attached to and form a part of this policy.
Adopted by the Oldham County Public Library Board of Trustees on October 6, 1986.
*Restricted Access to Library Materials
