Water issues in the Newmarket Public Library

Innocent questions about the location of the Newmarket Public Library's only water fountain deserve an answer.

Currently, the sole water fountain is located in the Children's Department. This is convenient for families who use the Library, But concerns have been raised that the Library may be putting young children at risk by requiring strangers (without accompanying children) to visit the Children's area. Should this area be restricted to young children and accompanying adults only?

Why aren't there any other options?

Would it not be simpler to install a second water fountain in the main lobby on the first floor?

I would like to point out that a plug in water cooler can be purchased from Canadian Tire for a very reasonable cost. See this link

For less than $200, the Library can address the safety concerns that have been raised.

What are they waiting for?
