Parental Guidance

Since the YA section covers those aged 12-18, and each child is at a unique developmental stage emotionally & physically, it is the responsiblity of the parent/guardian to determine what materials are appropriate for their child.   

 

If you are unsure of the materials your child has selected, please ask library staff or find more specific age recommendations at: 

Common Sense Media.
