[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure where OP lives but we lie in Fairfax County and regularly go to three different libraries near our home (Chantilly, Reston, Herndon) and all three have what OP is describing. The only computer near the children's section at our libraries is the card catalog computer.[/quote]

Meant to say - what OP wants. Not what she says she sees. I never see kids on screens at the libraries we go to.[/quote]

I see what OP sees.  It’s happening in my library.  Perhaps it’s an inner city library issue (as this is ours).  Kids often go to the library after school bc they have no where else to go.  They go to pass time, not read books.  The library has probably 10 computers in the kids section and they are always filled with kids on headphones watching stupid videos. Zero interest in books.  I wish they would get rid of the computers.  These are the kids that likely don’t have any books at home or anyone reading to them- the last thing they need is more screen time [/quote]
