Hmm interesting. I think in small, isolated communities (like islands), that could definitely work. But as soon as you go beyond “everyone knows everyone”, you’d have to start polling everyone to see if they have allergies and that just seems infeasible at scale. Plus, if anyone moves into the community you’d have to ask them and potentially re-home an integrated animal.

I love this story and it’s a beautiful kitty! But hot take: animals should not live in the library. Libraries are specifically for everyone and there are many people who are allergic to or have a phobia of (more common for dogs but still relevant ) cats which would potentially prohibit them from accessing the space and resources

Boston!! These announcements are done by kids with autism and they are even less intelligible then regular train announcements!! (super cute when you can actually hear one tho)

I worked at a zoo for a bit and whenever we went in the prairie dogs enclosure we had to wear lowkey hazmat and fully sanitize before & after bc they can carry it

Um, idk we do. I work in a busy urban library and we (circ and librarians) check in everything we pick up. We do use RFID tags so that makes it pretty easy.

Yup! They also track the number of times it was renewed.
Definitely! Totals are generally sent to the city/state and come up in budgeting discussions and the numbers are used to determine what books to buy.

Interesting! When you return a book to a different in-network library it stays there? In the US/at my library, if a book belongs to library and a patron returns it at library B, it is sent back to A.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 5 months ago:
Primarily, yes. But also most libraries run a book through the check-in system when they pick it up. This marks in the system when and where the last time a book was touched was, which can be useful if it were to go missing. But mostly it’s so it doesn’t go in the wrong spot.

Yeah I find watching baseball (professional or otherwise) in person to be wayyyy more fun than on the tv. That being said the recent addition of the pitch clock does make things go much faster even on the tv imo
- Comment on Might be fun idk 1 year ago:
Fair fair. Do you feel the same way about baseball?
- Comment on Might be fun idk 1 year ago:
Do you personally dislike all sports or just football?
- Comment on Me at my library job as the only one who will weed books 1 year ago:
The city I work in prohibits the selling or giving away of city property so we aren’t allowed to sell them (and truly most of the time they are so old and crusty and yucky that no one would pay any amount of money for them), but if the quality of books is super high we sneakily donate them to More Than Words. That being said we do hold book sales stocked by donations from patrons and the proceeds go into our programming budget.

Hahaha that is hilarious!!
Probably the time I had a book come back with the pages taped back together in a completely random order. Created a wild ride of a story lol
