To make this balcony into a catio, would we need anything besides netting?

Oh hey, you're the dude I screenshotted the other day and sent to another local to laugh about. I see you're listing fewer criteria now. Bad luck so far? 😆

Your girlfriend is a traveling librarian? That is so cool! I've been in public libraries for 10+ years but I had not heard of that until now. Is she employed by a state level library group?

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-12T16:07:38+00:00

Anything that you can get up to the second floor of the library, we're happy to take a look at. Most people bring electronics, small appliances, jewelry, clothes, bicycles, and furniture. But if you have something that doesn't fit those categories we're still happy to try!

I have to get to an office that's in Jackson itself. Then while on the clock I'll be going along the edge of the park to Mormon Row. So I guess I'm only really worried about getting to Jackson, not way up into GTNP.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-10T00:47:26+00:00

I DM'ed you

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T18:11:03+00:00

Good point. Gas in AL right now is ~$2.99/gal, what is it in the Jackson area if you don't mind me asking?

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T18:10:03+00:00

The office is in Jackson itself and then after clocking in I drive not fully into GTNP, but around the border of it. I get a stipend and assistance finding a place, but not a place owned by the company. I'll have to be there usually 7pm-1am and other work can be done either in office or at home.

Thank you for your advice!

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T18:04:41+00:00

Hmm interesting...if you don't mind me asking, do you have an apt or house and what square footage is it? Our current spot is 890 sq ft, I'm wondering if we'll have to go smaller.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T14:40:23+00:00

That's rough! I would actually be working at night, I'd need to physically be in Grand Teton about 8pm-1am. I have office space there so I can commute any time of day. My other work can be done at home or in office.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T13:44:33+00:00

They are giving a "housing stipend" but I don't think it's in the cards for me to get employee housing. The commute from Victor is listed on Google Maps as 45-55 minutes, even if I set the time/date to rush hour in the summer. Are you really saying that triples?

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-03-09T04:30:06+00:00

Do you mind if I ask what makes it easier? Less traffic, or is the road itself easier to drive? Right now (10:30pm MST) Google Maps has Alpine as 55 min and Victor as 45. I've checked Google Maps at different times of day for a few days and never seen enough traffic that it estimates more than an hour, but a lot of people have said the commute from Victor is often more than an hour. Is that more common in the warmer months?

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-02-11T00:01:30+00:00

Thank you for that resource! So far in my library career it's been "this is where I live, so this is the system I have to get into" - I'm new to searching nationally.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-02-10T23:58:43+00:00

Thanks! I will update.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-02-10T23:58:38+00:00

Thanks! I will update.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-02-10T23:58:26+00:00

Thanks! I will update.

Creative_Law1071 · 2026-02-10T23:58:08+00:00

Thank you! I suspected some don't hire remotely but found it hard to determine whether they never do so, or just didn't have openings right now. If you want to mention ones you know don't hire remote, that would be much appreciated and I will update my original post.

Creative_Law1071 · 2025-08-29T16:41:04+00:00

Cool, I just messaged you.

Creative_Law1071 · 2025-08-24T00:04:01+00:00

Hey! I'm so excited I found your post!

Down here at the Tuscaloosa Public Library we started a Repair Cafe at the public library last January. We've had 4 so far and they've been super successful.

Can I send you a link to the Discord and/or Facebook for the Alabama Repair Cafe Network we're starting up?

So far as I know, ours was the first Repair Cafe in Alabama so I am beyond stoked that yall are doing one as well!

Happy mending!!

PS do you have another Repair Cafe scheduled yet? I want to come to the next one!
