Not sure whether this is a win or a loss...

Public library with 2 1-person-at-a-time bathrooms, one for men, one for women, both(*) with a sink and both wheelchair-accessible (or intended to - I'm not an expert or even an enlightened amateur). I think that it would be possible to fit 2 AB-only bathrooms (1 for men and 1 for women) and 1 (unisex) wheelchair-accessible bathroom within the same footprint as the layout I described, and I'm curious: which layout would likely lead to less contention?

(*) Technically making an assumption there, since I checked only one, but I'm not a Fair Witness.

I didn't look for one, but I don't think it did. I can see that being failish for reasons unrelated to the possible contention problem, if the other one did. But I think that library is read-on-premises only, which wouldn't make it suitable for anything except quick stays by children younger than potty-training age. If my impression is correct, it might justify the complete lack of changing boards anywhere.

Don't knock on the toddlers. My mother used to take me along all the time when she was writing her thesis, and I was 2 years old. All the staff knew me, and not in a bad way at all.

I also went to class with her when I was even younger. I guess I always was a very quiet person!
