I remember being a young mother --okay, okay, I KNOW that was a long time ago -- and looking for a place to nurse when the sleeping baby decided to wake up off schedule and the only spot in the library out of public view was the restroom floor.  (No chairs in there.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Kingland Library To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:50 PM Subject: Re: kcs: Sleeping in the library This is a message from CTLS-L.
