Policy Statement for Children's Programs

The professional staff of the Jackson County Public Library selects, plans, prepares and presents programs and events. These programs further library goals and are part of the established, ongoing services of the department.
Most programs and events planned, promoted or sponsored by the library are FREE of charge. Programs may be designed for a specific age or grade level and attendance may then be limited to a specifically described audience. (For example: 3 to 5-years-old)
Some programs may require registration. This is done in order to:

1. Not exceed capacity of rooms;
2. To ensure the audience matches the specifically described characteristics, such as age or grade level;
3. To allow the presenter to make preparations for each individual attending.

If registration is required, it will be done on a first-come, first-served basis for the described audience. If programs are filled, we will make every effort to include those on waiting lists or to expand programs to accommodate demand.
Programs may be presented off-site or by request from groups or area schools. These programs are selected and presented by the professional staff, but outside speakers or presenters may be invited to provide programming sponsored by the library. Arrangements are made for these programs on a first-come, first-served basis.
