Good Morning Kat, Could you put in an actual changing table in the corner of the children's area. At least then it is designated and the germs will be there, not on the regular furniture. It could be wiped down every night, just as our bathroom changing tables are cleaned every day. Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y.

We have older bathrooms that don't have a baby changing station in them and are not in a place to change that anytime soon. We do have a counter that people can use (which I realize is not ideal). People have been changing their babies on our couches and on the floor in our Children's Department. I've been telling the people doing this that they need to use either the bathrooms, or some other option instead of the Children's Department furniture and floor. I hate to be inhospitable to families, but I am concerned about the safety and biohazard with a little one being changed out in the open of our department. Have any of you dealt with a similar situation? Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022
