its
been a while, folks, but i finally found a story worth reporting on
Local Library News. Please follow the link to read the story: Mom: Son in 'extensive therapy' after viewing library book.
can
you find a better title than that. i'll wait until you finish reading,
its a quick article......not yet? okay. How about now? Great.
this
is a prime example of parents shucking their parental duties and
leaving the crap for us service workers to pick up. i say it at least
once a day, so it should be on the blog, too: I AM NOT A BABYSITTER. the
library is a place for you to share with your kids, not drop them off
and hope for the best. you are supposed to explore the shelves with them
and/or teach them how to explore the shelves on their own. we don't
(and its really against our ethics) to police what adults or kids pick
up or check out for their own purposes.
that
being said, what's really going on here? a crazy lady, who clearly
passed on her hanging-by-a-thread-sanity to her child is blaming the
library for her child "being in a home for extensive therapy." One itty
bitty manga didn't drive your kid insane. you did.
Here!
Here! to the crestview library staff. may they stand (as long as their
bricks and mortar last) up to the book burners, zealots and crazies
toting a solid policy and excellent customer service as their tools.
fight on.
