# Main Library Rules

## Policy overview

The Main Library is designed to be welcoming, safe, and peaceful for families and children. These rules help preserve the shared space, protect people and pets, and support the calm, gentle rhythm of Plumfield Library.

## Key points

- Indoor play is welcome, but no shouting, rough-housing, wrestling, throwing, or hide-and-seek inside the house.
- Please do not play on stairs or railings, and children should only be upstairs when a library volunteer or teacher is present.
- The bedrooms and many basement areas are always off limits; the living and dining rooms are available only during club days with adult supervision.
- Enjoy quiet activities on the couches, such as knitting, crocheting, reading, or visiting, but avoid romping or pillow fights.
- The front yard is open for guests, while the side yard, back yard, camper area, and garage are not part of the library.
- Park in the cul-de-sac, not in the driveway, for the safety of small children and dogs.
- The dogs are friendly, but please let them be, avoid offering toys or food, and do not wrestle or throw things for them.
