Effective Immediately: Supervised visitations are prohibited at the Heritage Public Library.

The library lacks the necessary resources required by Virginia state protocols. HPL employees are not trained personnel with the qualifications to manage visitation security, safety, or oversight.

The library is under no legal obligation to act as a visitation facility and does not participate in child custody or legal visitation disputes.  The library's core mission focuses on open access to cultural, intellectual, and informational resources, and maintaining a welcoming community environment, which does not encompass legal supervision services.
