<Because some kiddos will take the whole period wandering around the library, not to be actually connecting with a book but just to be wandering, visiting with friends, playing with the shelf markers.....> I have watched kids do this and it never really bothered me because I do the same thing when I go to my public library - and sometime I leave empty-handed because my brain is not in a borrowing frame of mind because I am distracted by something else, I am overwhelmed by the choice or I just can't see anything to attract my attention at that time today. But my browsing enables me to know what is there when I am ready - and that conversation I had in the shelves might just have eased my mind. Different if I am disturbing the choices of others but sometimes the opportunity I have to go to the library (we live outside a very small rural town with a mobile library service) just doesn't coincide with my being ready to go.
