*just for some background info, we have a bathroom in the children's room, it was left over from before the remodeling, when that part of the building had been the staff lounge*
Anyhow, I was doing pick-up in the children's room, I'd noticed a woman head into the bathroom, and came out fussing with her daughter (who looked about 2 oe 3) in tow......couldn't understand what she was saying because the language she spoke wasn't one which I'm familiar with. The girl was carrying what looked like coloring pages, she dropped a few, and the woman hurriedly picked them up....I didn't think much of it at the time.
However, when I started clearing books off the table where this woman and her child had been, I discovered that the "coloring pages" were actually a bunch of pages which the girl had ripped out of a book. And apparently the mother decided the best way to handle it was to shove the pages back inside the book, as if staff wasn't going to notice the damge. (I also suspect that whatever the girl had been doing in the bathroom had clogged up the toilet, because it wasn't long after that when our children's librarian had to put an "out of order" sign on the dor)
