TIERED LIBRARY CARD SYSTEM OFFERED AT PHILLIPS PUBLIC LIBRARY

[My Northern Wisconsin]

   

The Phillips Public Library has implemented a new system for parents to have better control over the materials their children check out of the library.

There are three options.  The first option is Full Access, which gives children the right to check out anything at the library.  Another option is Young Adult Access, which allows a child to check out most things from the library with certain exceptions such as R-rated movies, MA-rated video games, YA graphic novels, and adult graphic novels, plus parents can choose other entire selections that their children are also not allowed to check out.  The third option is Child Access, which gives children the right to check out materials only from the children's side of the library.

Children will not be prohibited from looking at materials while at the library or gaining access to materials in the MORE Libraries system.  The new tiered library card system is only for materials being check out of the library.  The librarians will do their best to fulfill the check-out requests of parents.

Further details about the system can be found at this link.  Questions can be answered by calling the library at 715-339-2868.
