Ritter Public Library welcomes and encourages children to use our facilities and services. However, our staff cannot assume the role of a parent in their protection and supervision. That responsibility remains with the appropriate parent, guardian or caregiver and will not be assumed by the library, its agents or staff.
The Ritter Public Library makes services and a variety of materials in various formats available to all persons on an equal basis.
The library promotes the use of new technologies throughout the library when doing so supports the library’s mission, provides greater opportunities for the public to access information and entertainment material, and is cost-effective.
Ritter Public Library provides a limited public forum for all photography done by outside parties on the library’s property. Any photography must not interfere with the library’s daily business, rules or patrons’ use of the library.
