LIBRARIES: Children, quiet please!

Remember those not-too-distant quiet days at your local library? Not anymore. Don’t get me wrong. I like kids as much as the next person, but it seems that of late, our libraries have become de facto taxpayer-subsidized daycare facilities with fully 30% of library space dedicated to child recreation. And the “little angels” spill over into the greater area of said libraries, yelling, screaming, crying, etc. Three out of five days a week. 

Shhhhhh! Quiet please! Just sayin’…
