Description: Full-text ERIC Digest report about how children spend their after-school hours at the public library.
Library Latchkey Children. ERIC Digest. ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Library Latchkey Children. ERIC Digest. Throughout the U.S. and Canada many children are spending their after-school hours at public libraries until being picked up by a working parent (Budziszewski, 1990). While public librarians have traditionally welcomed the use of library resources by children, library latchkey youth are a controversial issue among librarians because most public librarians feel that they are not trained to be caregivers; that their libraries do not have sufficient staff to provide child care; and that their facilities are not equipped or licensed to function as a substitute for child care centers (American Library Association, 1989).
