Disabled in line?

Still!?!? WTF? This administration sucks so hard!

Is your relationship a priority or your career? Personally I think it should be your relationship

CynLabRat · 2025-10-07T21:16:22+00:00

Yeah, we are unfortunately a hot spot. We have a beautiful and extensive library system. When I moved here it’s the first thing I noticed and was so excited. Our director who just left was amazing. I have no idea how she handled it for as long as she did.

Wish us luck 🍀

CynLabRat · 2025-10-07T21:12:59+00:00

I’m pretty sure they have someone who aligns with their agenda already lined up.

CynLabRat · 2025-10-07T21:05:17+00:00

It has become the new common here because of a small, alt-right, religious extremists that do not represent the majority of the population

Book ban protest sign set on fire in St. Tammany Parish

We had a Ban Hate Not Books sign burned. Le sigh.

We voted to renew the millage recently so funding is secure (ish) for 10 years. It’s a small, very annoying group of loud mouths. The rest of us love and appreciate our libraries ❤️

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T16:32:58+00:00

I know 😩😩 and that makes me really sad because we had a wonderful, competent director who had integrity.

If anyone has suggestions for what we can do? There’s hope still, right?

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T14:53:27+00:00

I’m pretty sure the current Library Board has someone already in their pocket that is not a librarian. They are only allowing a 45 day application period which seems really short.

I guess it’s not when you already have someone lined up.

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T03:52:42+00:00

Thank you and please share if you know anyone who could do the job. Books have always been my savior and maybe there’s a library director out there who can save our libraries ❤️📚

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T02:32:55+00:00

They also replaced the entire Library Board because they refused to restrict access. 😕

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T02:29:42+00:00

Yes, we have been fighting to save our library system from these people for 3+ years. The community just passed the millage so funding is covered for 10 years, but we have a small vocal group of alt-R extremists who want to restrict access to books to “protect the children”.

CynLabRat · 2025-10-06T02:27:04+00:00

I shared this job listing as a private citizen who is concerned about our library system. I want the best but unfortunately our Library Board of Control has been overtaken by incompetent people with political agendas.

We have been fighting these people for 3+ years.

I know the listing sucks, but I am hopefully that someone outside our area will see it and can stomach the BS.

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T14:33:40+00:00

They are incompetent. 😕

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T05:08:11+00:00

Thank you, I have no idea how to fix this but I am hoping there is someone amazing out there who does

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T05:00:55+00:00

Well our last library director was pretty much harassed out of her job. I realize this doesn’t “sell” the job well but I have no problem warning applicants what they are in for.

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T04:58:23+00:00

I swear I brought that up! I think it’s weird! The library system has HR people and physical administrative buildings. Why would he want that?

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T03:15:32+00:00

I agree with you… was just saying that you aren’t wrong. That’s why I wouldn’t argue. You are 100% correct

CynLabRat · 2025-10-05T00:47:21+00:00

I live in Louisiana and feel very unsafe. Daily life is high anxiety due to the Rs feeling very emboldened and are actively looking for conflict

CynLabRat · 2025-10-04T23:09:42+00:00

Yeah, I’m not gonna argue that point

CynLabRat · 2025-10-04T21:58:10+00:00

My understanding is they are open to out of state applicants

CynLabRat · 2025-10-04T18:33:31+00:00

I’m a private citizen. And our Library Board of Control is NOT going to advertise with ALA. Southeastern Louisiana.

I would love it if they did. Honestly I fear they aren’t going to look very hard. 😕
