The University of Arkansas Libraries are committed to providing users with a safe, welcoming environment conducive to study and research. While our spaces and collections are designed primarily for the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Arkansas, we welcome children accompanied by a parent or other adult (person 18 years or older) caregiver.

Additionally, we have a family study space in room 233 for adults with accompanying children to use. There is a play space as well as several books and activities for kids to enjoy, and there are tables, chairs, and outlets for studying. 

Responsibility and care for children in the Libraries resides solely with the parent or designated caregiver. Children under the age of 12 should not use the Libraries unattended.
