Re: Children in Reading Rooms
Cynthia:
We here at the State Archives require parents to keep a close watch on small
children when they are doing research. We often tell parents to take a child
who is running around in our research room in hand and keep them quite.
While we can not tell parents to leave, we do require that quite of a
reasonable sort be maintained.

Greetings.
I am a bit curious as to how folks who do not have age restrictions for
visitors to their collections handle the babies and children that arrive
with their parents.
While we have a small collection of current children's materials that relate
to our museum collection, I am uncomfortable allowing non-school age
children to use them.
Thanks for your insights.
