[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped going to libraries altogether, even though libraries used to be one of my favorite places in the world. I loved books so much that I used to work in a bookstore. My preschoolers also love books and would spend all day in a library if we let them. But they aren't pleasant places for us anymore. On the contrary, they're actually a bit stressful.

There are sketchy people in there so I can't just let the kids wander around unsupervised to explore, some of the people smell so horrific that they clear out entire rooms, I won't let the kids touch any pillows or fabric seating because I'm concerned about bedbugs, some of the books are obviously filthy with who knows what, and I refuse to use the bathrooms.

With more things being available online, I think the days of the public library are numbered.[/quote]

This has been my experience, also. I live in Montgomery County and there are many nice libraries. I found one which, for whatever reason, doesn't have the above mentioned issues. I used to love Rockville Library, but it became over run with homeless people and assorted vagrants. [/quote]
