Hello

In Indianapolis, Indiana...there is a mobile library that visits elderly, nursing homes, & daycare centers/daycare homes...or just people who have a hard time getting out. There is also times the library has volunteers(usually elderly) who read to young children brought in by their parents. Schools also have a reading program where if children read so many books...they get a reward...usually donated by businesses in the area(like a small pan pizza from PizzaHut or a free kids' meal at Old Country Buffet). Toys R Us...which I know isn't a library...has a pokemon night/afternoon where children trade pokemon cards for a couple hours. And I know Boy Scout Troops are always looking for places to hold meetings...maybe if you offer a room or a small section of the library to Boy Scout Troop meetings...the parent can have the meeting while the children look for books.
