Seems to me that there might have been a better way to handle this.

Indeed, it's not a policy issue.

What was the policy that made parents raise their kids right?

I apologize I came off as a troll, I was reading the comment thread about how parents should raise their kids and the response comment about the way parents raise their kids isn't a policy issue. I didn't see anything in the article about how a policy changed the way parents changed their kids behavior to fix the issue.

I believe we just talked past each other as the policy fixed the problem of bad behavior occurring in the library during those hours which is true.

Who needs logic? They have strong feelings!

I get where you're coming from, but I think anything concerning human behavior and how they use the services absolutely is a policy issue.
