Using the Library Safely:
The caretaker guidelines in our Safe Child Policy help ensure a safe and fun experience for your child. The guidelines are as follows:…
Children ages 7 and under must have a caregiver (16+ years) in the room.
Children ages 8-9 need a caregiver in the building. Ages 10 and up can join us independently. Please see our Safe Child Policy for more information.

It's the summer before fifth grade, and for Ferris Wilkey, it is a summer of sheer pandemonium: Her little sister, Pinky, has vowed to become an outlaw. Uncle Ted has left Aunt Shirley and, to Ferris's mother's chagrin, is holed up in the Wilkey basement to paint a history of the world. And Charisse, Ferris's grandmother, has started seeing a ghost at the threshold of her room, which seems like an alarming omen given that she is also feeling unwell. But the ghost is not there to usher Charisse to the Great Beyond. Rather, she has other plans--wild, impractical, illuminating plans. How can Ferris satisfy a specter with Pinky terrorizing the town, Uncle Ted sending Ferris to spy on her aunt, and her father battling an invasion of raccoons?
