    That is super fucked. Going to the library, grabbing a stack of comics, and then settling down in a quiet corner to read them was one of my happy places as a kid.

    I had a library card, but I didn’t bother checking out stuff I could just read during the hours I hung out at the library. And the place was comfy, quiet heaven.

      That letter makes it sound like sitting in the corner and reading stuff in the library is fine.

      It seems to suggest that there are some shitty parents trying to use it as a free day care and letting their shitty kids trash the place, which only makes things more difficult for the kids trying to use it like a library.

      op just edited their comment. seems like just hanging out without reading books is not prohibited. reading books, be it comics and whatnot, is fine.
