I read YA sometimes but holy shit that's terrible. I've never seen that in a library before and I can't imagine it's even legal (age discrimination). What if you're wanting to pick up books for your kids? I've checked out picture storybooks for the little kids in my household before.

It didn't occur to me that it could be illegal.

NAYRT - Not to mention adults with lower reading levels. How humiliating.

Yeah, that's a good point. Some people have lower reading skills, some people are reading in their second/third/etc language, some people are neurodiverse and may need lower reading level books, not to mention all the people that just plain enjoy them more.

some people are reading in their second/third/etc language

Seriously. I've been studying my second language for years now and while I CAN read harder things, YA is just about the right difficulty level to be enjoyable but not frustrating.

In fairness you could just ask the librarian but yeah, it's a dumb policy.

Ask them what? "Even though the sign says No Adults, can I be the exception?" they wouldn't have the sign up if they were willing to let adults use the section.

...you ask them to grab a book for you. Perhaps even suggest a book to you.

You realize they're more than shelvers, right?

Huh. It's weird. It's almost like I know the kids in my life better than a stranger, and might enjoy going into a place with books and picking out books I'd know they'd enjoy us reading together.

Instead of standing 40 feet away from the book section and trying to order another human around from there to try and get a book for the kids.

...you ask them to grab a book for you. Perhaps even suggest a book to you.

And will they sit there for half an hour and read through the books to make sure they're appropriate and appealing for our story time? To my exact standards? I doubt it.

It's almost like there's a simpler way, as if I could go into the children's section and pick out books all on my own. Instead of making a librarian play personal shopper for me because they have an age-discriminating policy.
