GEN: Public libraries and latch key kids

[Shelley Glantz <glantz@MEOL.MASS.EDU>]

Several years ago, (I believe the late 80s) the ALA was concerned about the
abundance of "latch key kids" appearing in public libraries after school and
unsupervised. At that time I think they released a statement about dealing
with these children. My husband needs some info about their position for a
report he has to write, and of course needs it before I go back to work on
Monday. If anyone can help with a quote or statistics I would be most
appreciative. And my husband would be very impressed!
