Also, as far as Sundays it would be great to have the libraries open not only for kids, but for adults as well (few Queens libraries are open, I see from the list). But I would hope that at least on Sunday, parents and kids could do something together?

While I am all for expanding the definition of the modern library, I'm have trouble with this one...

I don't want to go on a self-indulgent rant, so I won't.

While I agree to the premise that the library should be open on the weekends, librarians are not child care workers and should not be treated as "free of charge" babysitters.

There are certain library activities where it might be appropriate to leave a child (say a special activity hour or story time where there are lots of non-librarian adults/volunteers to help).
