I would shove the kids in the empty building !
wonder if the parents of these children really know what they are getting up to ?

i know these children do need somewhere to go but i have to agree some of them swear and are just plan rude and don't seem to care they are upsetting everyone else around them.
when i was young your were not rude to staff if you were that was it out on your ear.
But to be honest can you blame the staff ? i don't, you so much as tell a child off these days and they call the police.
must be very hard to work in a place like that and keep your temper.
how many of use could put up with that every day ?
I for one could not work in that place not even as the cleaner or caretaker, let alone the main staff.

I think all us " old fashioned " people have to face up to the fact that Lewisham libraries are changing to keep up with the trend of net use and the moden way of thinking, we may not like it but thats what the young people want.
