how obnoxious would a non screaming 2 yr old have to be before it would be appropriate for a librarian to come give them a talking to, even as their mom is right there hushing them? Not in the kid's room admittedly, but in the movie section? Yelling? speaking at a normal volume instead of whispering? maybe a tad louder?

That is seriously over the top. If that happened when I was at the library with the kids I would have lost my shit. Considering the kind of dervish Sylvia is I feel lucky now that we haven't been chastised on our library excursions.

I kinda did lose my shit. We left, ande while i was checking out i apologized to the other librarian for my rowdy kids. she said they were fine, and i said that the other librarian had found them disruptive enough to come scold my kid, so we'd probably just go to a different branch from now on. and the nice librarian seemed sorry, and I was practically in tears trying to keep my kids from being obnoxious enough for the bitchy one to say something else about them. Then I came home all crying and shit, and Z asked me what was wrong, and he got all pissed off and called the library, talked to the woman who spoke to moj, who totally lied to him!!!! and got her supervisors name and wants to call and get her in trouble.

Seriously, if it had been yur basic library shushing, it'd have been cool, but the woman was really rude and went on and on at my kid instead of talking to me.

Both as a person who works in customer service and a potential future librarian (go go gadget grad school) I am pretty upset for you. That is really uncalled for and I fully endorse both going to a different branch and calling the lady on her shitty interpersonal skills.
