When did libraries change?
When I was a kid, the librarians would talk sternly to a kid if they made a peep, and so they didn't. Kids were expected to be in a small "kid's corner" of the library, and if they came out they were ushered back in so they didn't bother the patrons.
And patrons would look sternly at parents who didn't control their kids, and parents back then actually cared whether their kids were bothering people, so they disciplined the kids and the kids remained quiet.
Today, the parents don't care who their kids bother, and they wander throughout the whole library, and the librarians blissfully remain without regard for what kids do because who can control kids? But the librarians look like they want to talk sternly to the adults if they don't push their chairs in or if your cellphone buzzes.
Discipline the adults for cellphones. Ignore the kids if they scream.
This is why Librarians for Obama bumper stickers are redundant -- they share the exact same worldview and perverted vision for society.

What a laughable activity for a public library! At the very least they could be writing a blog or doing something productive.
