Review of Elmhurst public library

Went to chaperone kids for a school project. Kids...

Went to chaperone kids for a school project. Kids walked there from a nearby school and I met them there. Kids did not have their library card with them so they could get a room to work in. Library couldn't get a hold of THEIR parents, while I was standing there taking responsibility for them, and 2 different employees would not allow us to use the room. Room went unused. Terrible, terrible way to treat children who actually cared to finish their project. I drove the kids to the Addison library, none of us are residents of Addison, but they let us use their room since it was not occupied. The Elmhurst staff that spoke to us were shockingly uncaring about children's needs. Terrible on Elmhurst library.
