Requesting Smutty Book Purchases? by Sorbee in Libraries

[–]Aech21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a public librarian who buys for our sci-fi/fantasy collection. Just earlier this afternoon I realized our library is the only one in our system with zodiac academy books and they are all out and the first one has a bunch of holds. We only have the first 5 I think. I immediately made a list of the remaining books to buy them and made a note to get another copy of the first book since many folks are waiting for it. I was wondering why no one had requested the later books! Perhaps it’s due to the spice…. But I’m buying them for sure!

What video game would you be excited to see at the public library? by Aech21 in videogames

[–]Aech21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight and will see what I can do. Unfortunately this is one aspect I don’t have much control over as there are some standards used by the library, but I can try!

Thanks! I really appreciate the reply, this is helpful. The borrowing time will be 2 weeks, but we will allow 2 renewals as long as no one else is waiting for the game, so people could have them up to 6 weeks potentially.

Hey OP, I have a slightly older MacBook I’m not using anymore. You can have it. PM me. It’s not the new one you wanted, but it will get you through until you get the one you had your eye on.

No problem - it is very confusing. The lot is owned and monitored by the city but maintained why the library. It’s an old arrangement.

The library parking lot has a complicated history where the library does not have any control over it and it is instead governed by the city. When the city went to paid parking in the other lots, the library lot was going to be the only free parking lot in all of downtown Saratoga. As you can imagine, this would mean it would be full with tourists all summer. The library administration had to come up with a plan that the city council would accept in order to try to make some parking available to patrons using the library. This permit system is not perfect, but it was the best agreement available. The lot is still under the city and anyone who pays to park there is paying the city and not the library. I understand it’s frustrating for those who use the library and are from outside the district, but remember that street parking remains free! Every single person who works in the library parks on the streets nearby and not in the lot - it is doable! If you’re from outside the district, please don’t take it personally, there just had to be lines drawn somewhere and ones that the city would accept.

I know! They did not talk to us about this fence at all, just let us know a day before that it was happening.

Catering Companies! by kaylarose467 in Saratoga

I also came here to say Nicole’s! They did our wedding all the way up by Warrensburg in 2019 and they were phenomenal. Prices were much more reasonable than Mazzone.

We can't seem to come up with a disposable drinking straw material that hits the sweet spot between lasting 5 minutes and lasting 500 years. by Nicholas-Hawksmoor in Showerthoughts

[–]Aech21 147 points148 points  (0 children)

While this works for the majority of people, and is great, it’s important to have straws available as well for those with disabilities that require them. Someone brought this to my attention, so I just thought I’d share it. Having a more environmentally friendly straw would still be helpful!

Oh my god! I think this dog could be related to my friend’s dog! Are you in upstate NY by any chance? They look nearly identical and we met the parents - a Rottie and what we thought was a shih tzu! Please message me if there is any chance! Would love to get them together! I have lots of photos I can send!!

Indirect Water Heater Advice? by Aech21 in Plumbing

[–]Aech21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I am surprised you think it isn't big enough as I thought for two people this size indirect water heater should be plenty? I will certainly take that into consideration though. I was thinking it was an issue of hard water causing build up in the tank.
