[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this issue at my library too and felt uncomfortable bringing my two preschoolers there.  Also, the smell can be intolerable.  To be honest they are all over the city parks too and I don’t like that either... I don’t think there is anything you can do.  My solution is to drive out further to the suburbs where this isn’t an issue.[/quote]

Father of two preschool-aged DDs here, one who we're currently potty-training. It's an "adventure" to visit the men's room stalls in some libraries, to put it nicely. Now we seek drive to libraries not easily accessible by public transportation to avoid such situations. My girls love the library, but I need to consider their health and safety also.

I wonder if the solution is some kind of private library? I guess that's what the various play places are, since you have to pay to enter, but there's not as much of a focus on reading or books, except for a few of them (Playseum in Bethesda I guess).[/quote]

There are private libraries in New York City that you pay to belong to. It's a great place if you are worried about your safety which many are, or if you want your kids to have a place to go to do homework and study after school (especially since NYC apartments tend to be small, even nice ones).[/quote]
