I was waiting to reply because things kept changing each day
I know how that is :)
We had good luck with the closer and smaller of the two libraries near our house -- it's large enough that it has a two-stall bathroom and (and i didn't know this until I started taking her there for toilet training!) even a kid's toilet -- but low-volume enough that people weren't constantly coming in and out of the bathroom and it was okay to sit there for... quite a while. The larger library is also in a more urban location and has a lot more people, and I think E got spooked by the constantly flushing toilets and the loud air-blower hand dryers (though these same features made this library a good training ground for the last intensive step of toilet training -- once she could go there, she could go anywhere :) )
every kid (and parent) really ends up doing it differently.
...yeah. (That's why my original advice to you in your post was riddled with so many caveats and YMMV's :) )
