Back in those days the children's part of the library was separated from the adult section by a hallway with doors at either end. We would look at those doors with great awe and respect because important grown-up stuff was going on on the other side of them. In both the adult and children's section people were expected not to speak above a whisper. Today the county library system has merged the children's section and adult's section at all their libraries and it makes me mad enough to spit! I am not making this up ... the kids from a nearby school (not the same school I went to) are so disruptive at one of the county libraries I go to, so wild, and unwilling to obey the librarians orders that they actually have a police officer on duty to expel the rowdies when it becomes necessary. The cacophony of noise and talking experienced now is enough to make me throw up. I have almost, on several occasions, accidentally slammed into pint-sized, curly, dimpled, lunatics literally running through the library. And of COURSE, if I did, it would be MY fault. What in the hell is this world coming to when a POLICE OFFICER is required to make kids behave in a library?! Back in my day one glaring look from a nun (ANY teacher) or librarian was enough to make us hide under a table.
OK, calm down DATo. Take deep breaths. Think beautiful thoughts ....
