Review of Oshawa Public Library

As a bystander today, an employee got rude and singled out a frequently visiting family for their kids meanwhile there was multiple other kids louder and nothing was stated to them, I am disappointed in this employee for the attitude. Is not this place meant for children too? This library has had wonderful programs for children, but it seams they are expected to not be children. It was terible seeing this one family being blamed for some noise that was also being created by other children too. But the employee was quite rude to the parents. If you do not want kids in the library then why have the programs and blocks to play with and books? It needs to be redesigned to separate the kids area and the adults study area. I don't often come to this branch and I do not have a membership but I do come to use the wifi service or to just sit and read one of the magazines. Or looking at cookbooks. If one is going to be spoken to then the other parents who's children are also running about.
