fucking children. wish I could buy a condom for every person on the planet

maybe just your father

And THAT'S the worst thing happening in your life??

No, just the worst thing that happened to them today.

OP never implied this was the worst thing, just bad. And I agree, loud children in libraries or quiet places in general are pretty awful to people who go to those places hoping for peace and quiet.

Read to the toddlers and the parents will pay you! Winning!

Why not just borrow some books from the library and read them elsewhere?

One of the great features of libraries is that they let you take the books away for a bit and read them where you choose.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm assuming op lives in a loud & chaotic place and the library tends to be their quiet, special, place they escape to. It's understandable to be a bit miffed when you have something you've planned and waited for weeks for, and then that plan gets ruined.

The library is a public place. You have no more right to be there than the toddlers. Take the books out and go and read somewhere else if you don't want to hear them.

Libraries have children's programs that include ages birth and up, to get kids interested in books and learning and then to keep them interested so that they can grow up to be a salty person that goes to the public library and gets upset about kids learning.

small library or do you prefer the children's section?
