I have no doubt the Sesame exhibit was much appreciated by parents and children from one to ninety-two. But in my opinion holding such an exhibit in an otherwise excellent library was a bad idea. For months now droves of children and their approving parents have been screaming, crying and babbling (as healthy children do) in sections of the library where people are engaged in activities they assume are appropriate for an adult library and therefore expect a reasonably quiet environment in which to do it. The front lobby at times is a miserable echo-chamber that, due to an astonishingly stupid double-floor open mezzanine design, invades the large "work" section on the second floor unimpeded. Even worse, in the section of the library where they sell coffee and baked goods, parents bring their children and allow them to scream and cry and run around like its a day care center. The managers at the library need to decide if the coffee area where people mostly work and treat like a library has any rules whatsoever. When they do decide on this they need to post those rules immediately.
