One way to look at this is... At least the disruption was contained , and the kids weren't running rampant in the magazines/bookstacks/main computer lab! Bradley A.

Another thought would be to only have toys that are attached to the wall, table, etc. For instance, wall panels like the one below. It also saves on floor space. You could also try getting one of the toy vacuums that plays a "pick up" song and ask them to use it when they're done (sign?).

Dear Librarians,
Do you ever have parents bring their children to the children's room to play and they just visit with the adults and let the children tear apart the room and then leave. How can you suggest that it is a learning process to return the toys to their place.
