Starting on October 1 the public libraries of Shelby County will offer a tiered card option for all juvenile patrons. Parents and guardians will be able to choose between two levels of access for their child's card -- either all access or limited access. All existing and new juvenile cards default to limited access until a parent or guardian opts in for full access. Parents or guardians will be responsible for monitoring their child's access to digital content on outside platforms such as Libby or hoopla. Please ask staff about parental controls on each platform. · Alabaster Library· Roy Downs Memorial Library· Chelsea Public Library · Columbiana Public Library· Harpersville Public Library· Jane B.
