[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am looking for what the public library [b]used to be[/b] for children. Just a place for kids to browse and sit around for hours looking at books, finish homework, ask the librarian for book recs, and be curious. Our local library has a great kids section... which is full of toddlers doing story time (great!) and elementary aged kids glued to the library provided screens playing video games (not so great). The seating area away from the computer banks is usually full of kids on their own iPads. Where can I take my kid to experience what we did growing up? Independent bookstores aren't the same.[/quote] I'm very concerned about excessive screen use, but just to be clear, they had plenty of screens at the public library when I was a kid 35 years ago. The library was the only place I ever got to play Oregon Trail. [/quote]
