Library Law: Employment of Underage Workers
If your library hires high school students as employees—whether during the summer or during the school year—the library will have to comply with the child labor provisions of the Illinois Child Labor Law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). When both the Illinois and the federal child labor laws cover a child's employment, the stricter of the two laws will prevail. This article shows some of the similarities and some of the differences between the two laws. This article originally appeared in the North Suburban Library System Newsletter.

Library Law: Wage Garnishment: Guidelines for Libraries, Part 1
Sometimes a library employee experiences serious financial straits from past-due debts, unpaid child support payments, tax levies or other third party obligations. If that happens, then the employing library, library district, or library system may be required to respond to a legal process that requires the library to withhold monies from the employee's wages and to pay those monies over to the employee's creditor.
