Reply #53: So you would leave your child with any librarian....

[trixie]

Whose job it is to service all patrons while doing payroll, budgets, programming, supervising employees etc? WOW!!:crazy:

Let me clue you in. A felon can loose their right to vote and yet has not lose their right to public buildings. When you are in your public library you are with pedophiles, robbers etc. Bet on it! Any parent that thinks a librarian is their personal assistant is way out of line. Any parent that feels that they can have a librarian tend their child might want to ask the librarian if there are any parenting classes available.

I truly fear for some kids with their crazy parents.

You might want to look at an Occupational Handbook for the job description of librarians. Taking legal responsibility for children is not listed. Calling the authorities on children in harms way (due to bad parenting) is one of our duties. Don't forget, you can have up to 600 patrons in a building at any moment.

If you thing a lifeguard is the same as a daycare worker you might be setting yourself and your child up for a tragedy.
