Williams explained that normally, registered sex offenders are not prohibited from entering and using the resources of a public library. However, since the Nanuet Library is located on school property it is illegal for register sex offenders on probation to enter this library.
The Rockland County Office of Probation will begin informing those under their supervision that they are not able to enter the Nanuet Library. The library will take responsibility for providing these patrons with library cards that allow them to access other libraries in the area that are not on school grounds.
