Unattended Children
Children under the age of eight must be accompanied at all times by a responsible caregiver age 14 or older.
Occasionally, the library may hold programs intended for children under the age of 8 without a caregiver. During these programs, the caregiver must remain in the library at all times and meet the child in the youth services department at the end of the program.
Children age 8 and older may stay in the library unattended for a length of time appropriate to their age and maturity. If a child age 8 or older is not able to behave appropriately in the library, that child may be required to stay with a caregiver.
All patrons, regardless of age, are subject to the policies and procedures of the library.

Learn a New Language
Mango Languages


Every Mango course, chapter and lesson incorporates our Intuitive Language Construction methodology, designed to simulate the way people learn when actually surrounded by a foreign culture through practical conversation.

Intuitive Language Construction increases what you learn, AND your ability to use it. Each lesson covers all four key-language components—Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Grammar and Culture – while maximizing comprehension and retention. A working knowledge of each component, and the ability to combine them correctly, is crucial to being understood and accepted by native speakers.

Click the Mango Picture above to get started.  Enter your valid Bridgeview Library card number in the white box marked "Your Card Number".  Pick a language and click Launch!
