Using video:
The Library is committed to your safety in both physical and digital spaces. One way of ensuring this is by maintaining visibility. For this reason, we require all customers participating in our interactive, virtual children's and teen programs to keep their videos on the entire time during the program.
In this program, we also ask that parents appear on screen with their child/teen upon entering the virtual room, and remain on screen until the program lead has confirmed their registration. Afterwards, the child/teen may remain on screen alone.
