The Daly City Public Library welcomes children of all ages. Children's books and videos can be checked out at all of our four locations.

Parents should be aware that children under ten (10) years of age or older children who are uncomfortable or disruptive when left alone must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while in the library. Library staff cannot provide child care services nor be responsible for children left unattended. To read our full policy statement, click here.
