Noise annoys

By Typicalwhitechick - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff

Today, I finally have a day to go to the library and read for hours. Today is also a playday event for toddlers. In the library. FML

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.

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.

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

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.

OR we can all be thrilled that children have the opportunity to learn while simultaneously expecting them to do the bare minimum of being quiet in a library. Scream at your parents house, yell as loud as you can at school in the playground, throw a full blown fit at the home of anyone you’re related to, but please remember that there are loud places and quiet places. The library is not a loud place. (I used “you” on purpose as the advice isn’t child centric. There are plenty of adults who need to hear this as well lol)
