JOIN US ON FEBRUARY 22, 6-7PM WE WILL BE DISCUSSING SHAME ON IT ALL BY ZANE
Harmony, Bryce, and Lucky Whitfield are sis-ters in every sense of the word.

Shame on It All follows their adventures, their friendships, their love lives, and their outlooks on life in today's society.
The Pontiac
Public Library strives to provide a positive and safe environment for
all patrons, especially families and children. It is recognized that
unattended or disruptive children at the library can represent a serious
concern. Responsibility for
behavior and well-being of children using the library rests with the
parents/guardian/caregiver, not with library staff. The library is a
public building and it is not safe for young children to be left alone. Children 12
years and younger must be attended by a responsible caregiver of at
least 14 years of age. If children younger than 12 years of age are
found without a responsible caregiver, staff will attempt to locate the
parent/guardian/caregiver and reunite them with the children. If those
persons cannot be located either within the library building or at home
within one hour, or if the building is closing, staff will contact the
local police department to pick up the children. The library is
not a playground. Patrons must maintain appropriate behavior at all
times. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and may serve as ground
for removal of the child from the building. Email questions and comments to: Pont@tln.lib.mi.us
