Supervision of children whilst at the library

Children under the age of 12 should not be left unsupervised in the library. Parents or guardians are responsible for the safety of children at all times. Any injury caused by lack of supervision is not the responsibility of Mackay Regional Council Libraries.

Censorship

Mackay Regional Council Libraries provide a physical and digital collection based on a broad range of community needs. We are obligated to comply with the decisions made under State and Federal Law, including those by the Australian Classification boards to provide an unbiased source of knowledge, information, and ideas.

Parents or guardians (of children under the age of 15) are responsible for the reading selections of children.

Mackay Regional Council Libraries supports and endorses the Australian Library and Information Association’s (ALIA) Statement on free access to information.
