Sorry, could not attend the meeting tonight but would appreciate an update. If I had attended I would have brought up the following;

1) Request to have a nappy changing table in the toilet.
It is large enough to accommodate a proper one and they are not expensive to provide. Its very hard on the knees, let alone unhygienic, to have to do this on the toilet floor! I know some other mums have taken to doing this in the children's library area out of lack of alternatives- practical but not that desirable for other people.

2) Bad behaviour of some children of late and apparent tolerance of staff to same. Most children who use the library are delightful and well behaved however some, ie the teenage boys playing computer games in the main area who were there last Friday afternoon, were very disruptive, using their mobile phones loudly, swearing at other users, and running around. The staff could not have missed this but did not make any attempt to remonstrate. I know the objective is to encourage library use by all sections of the community however there should surely be limits and some attempt by the staff to maintain at least part of the library as a quiet area for reading, research, and study.

3) Where are the books!
I know that libraries are changing and are no longer dank dusty places however it is still a little too light on books for my liking ( the exception being the childrens section which is very well stocked , well designed and managed.) The main objective of any library is surely to encourage a love of reading . Any chance of more books arriving?

4) Overall, its great to have the library back in action and looking so good!
