Was there again this morning and remembering this "conversation" I asked the Executive Director, Business Manager, and the Assistant Director about it.

These were the three comments they all made, although in slightly different orders:

-"How is it going to be funded? Keeping the Staff and Security here until 10PM or later would be expensive and its not in our budget."

-"A lot of people won't come out after dark so it would likely be the same people that come and sit here all day. They'd just be staying later."

-"We have enough behavior problems during the day. I can't imagine how it would get late at night."

I also asked the head Librarian about the Library as a 3rd Space for the public. She shook her heard and said "I understand the idea but it wouldn't work. The Staff isn't here to play baby sitter so people can sit around and chat."

So there ya' go; three Administrators and a Librarian.

Now I challenge YOU to go to YOUR local Library and talk to the Administrators and Librarians there. I'm interested to know what they tell you.
