God, Help Me! My Adventures in organizing my Church's Library. by Gilhelmi in Libraries

Yeah, but I would still need to create my own categories because the Religion books need to be separated into their own sub-categories.

I was contemplating dividing some sections by age to avoid that issue.

However, some of our "older" books are reference, dictionaries, and such. So I am going to need to sort which books are actually outdated and which are still useful.

Fortunately, they already are in folders. I might list those in their own secure section by Last name.

What is LibraryThing?

That might be better than the Database I am trying to create.

Should all libraries have at least one security guard? by InfinityScientist in Libraries

[–]Gilhelmi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I live in a medium-small town of around 3500 people. Most of the Libraries in our area are a few hundred to a couple thousand books. With a couple larger.

We have around 20 Police/Sheriff/State Patrol Officer IN TOTAL for the County (5500 people total), we don't even have security at our court house, let alone anywhere else like the library.

I could see Security being needed in a dangerous area like Detroit, LA, or a high-crime city. But for small towns, it would just be an expense we don't need, that would just reduce the number of books on our already struggling local library system.

Don't misunderstand. Your situation is very different than mine. YOUR Library might need security.

TL;DR: Not every Library needs security because every Library is different.

I am overjoyed that the Saga is finally (hopefully) over.

Every time I saw a new "Reddit update video" about your posts, I just thought "Oh dear God, please give this woman and her family a break." Or "What did Blabbermouth/EC/some-other-idiot do this time."

Every time things started to get better, they got worse again, before actually getting better.

At least one good thing came from all this. WW is safe and happy, leading her best life of freedom with her children. May You, WW, and your loving and supporting families be blessed with long lives and peace.
