Valley of the Tetons Library does not limit or restrict access to any library materials based on age or content, unless expressly required by law. Therefore, it is the policy of VTL that parents and legal guardians, not the library staff or board members, are responsible for monitoring and approving the selection of materials made by minor children. It is the parents or legal guardians – and only these – who may restrict their children – and only their children – from borrowing specific library materials. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to actively participate in their children’s library lending activity and have the ability to view the current checkout activity of any minor on the parent or legal guardian’s account. Parents and legal guardians are invited to accompany their children at the library.
