EUCLID, Ohio — Due to an increase in disruptive behavior, Euclid Public Library will soon require anyone under the age of 18 to have a chaperone.

According to EuclidLibrary.org, the change will be effective March 1.

The website states: “Unfortunately, since the beginning of 2017, the library has experienced a sharp increase in disruptive behavior during after-school hours that has prevented the library from serving as a safe space for all library users.  There have been multiple harmful incidents involving youth, including fights, vandalism, assaults on police officers, and inappropriate computer usage.  This kind of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”

The change, approved by the Euclid Public Library Board of Trustees, states: “A parent, guardian or caregiver over the age of 21 must accompany children under the age of 18 in the library, Monday through Friday, between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.”
