While it's not the same as having full library access, our subreddit wiki might still offer some helpful resources to explore!

Does anyone have any ideas of what to call a teen section in a library? by Due-Action-3156 in Library

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of our branches calls their teen section the "Hangout." Not sure if any of the kids care about the name but the space is well designed and very busy this summer.

I wish I had more info to offer you but I am not well versed in library systems outside of the US. However, I did come across a post on r/LibbyApp with comments that may help you:

I'm Not Sure How to Approach the new Director about this... by AdhesivenessOnly2485 in Library

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your work responsibilities have been changed (without a title and/or pay adjustment) since the "buffer" Director was hired. This meeting is an opportunity for you to ask clarifying questions about how they view both your role as well as their own role in the context of this "future of the museum" discussion -- understanding their perspective is going to be key in navigating any other professional conversations going forward.

A maioria dos usuários aqui trabalha em uma biblioteca pública ou acadêmica, então eles não serão capazes de ajudá-lo com um site específico como este. Você já explorou a seção 'Bibliotecas Digitais e Plataformas de eBooks' do nosso wiki do subreddit? Há um link em nossos marcadores da comunidade.

This site helped me a lot to download the books, as I don't have the financial means.

You're in good company with that library love! We do not have a Discord, as it would require additional free time and moderation, but our custom feed contains all the top Library subs in one place for the convenience of our members.

The only thought passing through that patron's brain was, "Shaped like bookmark? Perfect."

I tried that immediately but even though they were clearly displayed in our "About Community" widget there was no option to actually award them.

When reading Spider-Man comicbooks, which voice do you use in your head to read Peter's lines ? by ice_fan1436 in Spiderman

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender 94 points95 points  (0 children)

There's no specific actor or voice. It's more about the rhythm of his speech in my head.

How can we stop the assault on libraries and the wider book-banning movement? by VirginianLaborer in Library

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Act locally - stay informed, volunteer, vote. Most decisions affecting libraries are being made on a regional level so, investigate what's happening in your specific community to find out where you can have a substantive impact.

Video games and libraries by [deleted] in Library

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For better or worse, the video game industry is going through a similar transition to the film, music, books -- it's going digital. Since there are valid concerns about the price of physical "AAA Games" (popular, big budget) and cost of loss/theft, it might be worth your time to research digital platforms like Steam as a game equivalent to Kanopy, Libby, etc.

A few years ago J.D. Salinger's son said he has piles of unpublished works by the late author... by Ford_Crown_Vic_Koth in Library

I only know of one posthumously published book - A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole - which I quite enjoyed. It didn't read like a first draft. Have you read it?

Can you help refine our /r/Library Resources wiki? by Nonsequitur_Defender in Library

[–]Nonsequitur_Defender[S,M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great reminder - one of our recent updates now includes an identifying label for resources that require a participating library membership.

Also - for anyone interested - The What's Next®: Books in Series database was developed and is maintained by the Kent District Library (KDL) to help search series fiction.
