Mamava Policy

The Platteville Public Library is committed to creating a welcoming environment for breastfeeding parents. The Mamava lactation pod, located in the 2nd-floor gallery, is intended for use by patrons for the purpose of nursing, privately expressing breast milk, or calming small children and infants as needed. Nursing parents are free to breastfeed their child/children throughout the library. The purpose of the Mamava lactation pod is to provide privacy for those who require or prefer it.

The Mamava pod can be reserved using the free Mamava app. The Mamava will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis and may be used for private lactation, nursing, or calming children. The lactation pod may not be used for any other reason, and only one adult is permitted in the room at a time. Caregivers using the Mamava lactation pod must remain in direct supervision of all children who are with them or have another appropriate caregiver supervising the children. Staff has the discretionary authority to limit the number of children in the pod.
