Nice - sounds like someone rank and file made an executive decision to turn kids away. That someone would probably be better suited to working at Scrooge and Marley rather than a library - where TEH people are.

The cool thing is that the library gets some of its book-buying budget from the Summer Reading Club, dependent upon getting positive feedback about the Club from parents.
