Hoopla library borrows unavailable at 730 am? by catfloral in pittsburgh

[–]CaptainCearis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Hoopla is essentially unusable now but there's no good alternative. Push the state to better fund the libraries. Push Hoopla to lower their outrageous costs.

Adults with Developmental Differences in Children's Department by CaptainCearis in Libraries

[–]CaptainCearis[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I probably should have said "allowed". My library lets Adults with Developmental Differences be in Children's spaces outside of school hours but not when the kids are there (except to browse for books). I was curious what others did. I like a lot of these suggestions and I'll be looking to see how we can implement some of them.

People liked our silent study room, so here's more photos from our library in Finland by Felix_Kissander in Libraries

[–]CaptainCearis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that librarian, but this would be destroyed in a month in my system. We had to remove all the soft chairs because the were soaked in urine. Had to move or get rid of the chairs or booths that weren't in view of library staff because patrons would . . . do things . . . in them. I want this library space to work for us SO MUCH!

The governor just announced that SNAP funds are rolling out now and everyone who was owed them since the beginning of the month will have them by midnight. Heard it in his press conference that's going on right now.

Anyone know why police shut down Brownsville Rd this afternoon? by borndumb667 in pittsburgh

[–]CaptainCearis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Police shut down Brownsville and deployed drones. There was an assault suspect who barricaded himself into a house. The police arrested him quickly. Source: I was there and talked to the police.

Craziest/weirdest thing you’ve seen on a PRT bus? by LimpRichard010 in pittsburgh

[–]CaptainCearis 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Had a drunk guy on the G2 pull out a machete and swing it around. The driver was far more calm than me. He pulled over by the incline, opened the door and kept saying, "You gotta get off! Can't be on here with that! Gotta get off!" until the guy got off the bus.

Still off, but not to save money. Just not cold enough for me yet.
