I took my son to the library while waiting for Kiddo#1 to complete a bible thingy with her friend at the church until 7.
The place was lovely.... The guard walked my son and I in and showed us to the childrens section.. He talked to him about being quiet and and pointed out several things for us to do or look at...
My son played on the computer and walked in and out of the air plane book shelf.. He "read" to me and we talked to the lizard.
Now for the :tantrumpart...
While enjoying our snack at the table nearest the door I noticed two teens who kept going in and out. Nothing unsual... Kids don't sit still long. when they walked in the third time..They came directly to the coffee stand counter, where the attendant procedes to explain to them that they need to keep themselves in another section of the library because the girl had stolen food from the counter on one of there passes by the stand..
The girl was so RUDE and basically told the woman to F*ck Off. With my son there.. Yet they continued to walk in and out like nobody's business.
That burns my butt. GRR!

My problem really is the the nice library across from the crack house...
What are the county officials have been thinking..
They should have left the library in the flat tops and used the $$ to improve the surrounding 'hoods'.
You can stuff dollar bills in a cows arse, but are you getting the shiat out when you spray 'em with Febreeze?

This girl was about 14.. If mom is too blowed out on crack to make 'em for her.. She could certainly make a rice krispy treat herself..
I don't get people at all.

To the typical LexPark person, a library is not a place of research, but a place to prey on the ignorant (meaning "street smarts deficient"). Did you confront the girl?

Wasn't there a shooting at that library recently? You kind of have a clue about the place when you walk through the metal detectors as you enter.

I have been to the Lex Park library a few times and it appears that the teens like to us it as a hang out. I stick to the one in Leonardtown. Its a nice library and its close to the Leonardtown playground.

They are not metal detectors but book security used at most stores.

Good point, where was the guard when all of this was happening. Certainly he is not paid to escort little boys accompanied by their mom into the children's section. Why didn't the library worker call the guard. Sounds like delegating issues. However, I really like that library from what I have seen the times I have been there. Beats any DC Public Library (with the exception of the MLK Library downtown in Gallery Place). But homeless people hang out there I guess that is the same as the offspring of drug addicts hanging out to torment others at the LP Library. :shrug:

It's amazing I have seen quite a few posts about Lexington Park, Great Mills Rd etc. Is this a bad place to live? I really didn't think so when I came here, like I said compared to DC but really is it a bad place? TIA

Compared to which part of D.C.?

D.C. Is a big city with good and bad parts - Lexington Park is much smaller and much less of a mixed bag. Mostly crappy. However, If someone stuck a gun to my head and said I had to live in either Lexington Park or Southeast D.C., I'd probably pick Lexington Park.

Well I guess I don't see where I live as crappy but I haven't exactly seen too many fancy neighborhoods at all. I mean is there a Georgetown or Capital Hill or Hillcrest Heights in Southern Maryland. To me Lexington Park just looks like a smaller Waldorf. In comparison to the inner cities of DC I think it is an alright place to live. I certainly am enjoying myself. It's good to hear the opinions because I did not know GM Rd was famous for streetwalkers and that a crackhouse was across the street from the library. To be honest I kind of like knowing that the city is not perfect because I would be uncomfortable in a place like Georgetown, Woodley Park, Connecticut Ave, etc. Lexington Park, DC is okay.

Well, I was on Great Mills Rd in the evening recently, stopped at the McD's next to the Big Lots to get my 11-yr old daughter something to eat (drive-thru), and she said to me, "This place is kind of skanky." Understatement! Lots of "interesting" people hanging out in the parking lot, loud and obnoxious. I would not have gotten out of the car there. Heard the punks working inside saying MF over and over, which was lovely. I can't say there is a particular road that is as nasty in Waldorf as GM Rd is, but I could be wrong. The California area is much nicer, and I feel much safer up that way.

The LP library itself is beautiful, but again, I probably wouldn't feel safe walking from the parking lot into the building at night by myself. I'm lucky that Charlotte Hall is our closest library, but L'town is very nice too.

If possible, you guys should check out St. Mary's college library. I believe its the largest in the county and open to the public.
