One of the Vineland Public
Library's best assets is its wonderful Children's Department. Located
on the 2nd floor (accessible by an elevator for people with disabilities),
the Children's Department has a large collection of children's books
and many other resources, such as puppets, that may be borrowed.
Children ages 12 and younger are welcome to use the five children's
computers and children ages 6 and younger are welcome to use the
three computers in the Toddler Lab. The Children's Department offers
many events and activities such as Baby, Preschool and Toddler Story
Times, Book Discussions and Family Nights.
My
Rules for Online Safety
I will not give out personal
information such as my address, telephone number, parent's work
address/ telephone number, or the name and location of my school
or library without my parent's permission.
I will tell my parents
right away if I come across any information that makes me feel
uncomfortable.
I will never agree to
get together with someone I "meet" online without first
checking with my parents.
If my parents agree to
the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring
my mother or father along.
I will never send a person
my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
I will not respond to
any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable.
It is not my fault if
I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right
away so that they can contact the online service.
I will talk with my parents
so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon
the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can
be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit.
I will not access other
areas or break these rules without their permission.

Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST
