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
