It was just last week that my wife and I were watching the local news doing a story on how much more crowded the local libraries are and there is even a waiting list at some branches to use the computer.
People either can not afford a computer, afford the internet service, or have had the service cut off. People are also abusing the library by dumping kids off (as in pre-elementary and elementary aged children) in the early mornings and not picking them up til later.
Suddenly the county libraries is every one's hang out and day care center.
As one person put it, "Why not use the county's resources? I'm paying for it."
My wife went to the local branch to speak with the person in charge about taking one of our therapy dogs one day a week for reading therapy.
She said it was packed and kids everywhere.
My concern is with no proper supervision, I am not sure I want to be responsible for someone else's ill behaved child or have the task of correcting unsupervised children. That is not our function.
