The library should be untouchable, and should grow its services to combat growing teenage and adult literacy problems. In a very large urban environment more childrens services are needed not less. Having been into service centres and listened to the rowing and aggressive behaviour I would be reluctant to take my children to a shared environment with such conflict and queues. Shame on you

I find Stratford library exceptionally useful and entertaining and my kids are regular visitors there. Books and DVD's are expensive though. If we want to see a brighter, more educated generation, we have to supply our children with a comfortable, easy accessible space to read and to socialize. Leave kids' library alone!

Putting a local service centre or self-service machines near the children's area is an ill-thought out idea as it would mean a lot of footfall (including from people who are not coming with kids) near the children's area which should be a relaxing area.
