Children develop intellectually and emotionally at different ages. What is 
the library's responsibility in designing children's access to information? 
What is each family's responsibility when children use the library? Should 
the library restrict access to materials based on parent requests? How can 
families and libraries work together?

Speakers:  Mary Minow and Janis O'Driscoll
