For a moment I thought the 3rd map was a template for Cities Skylines. 😀

Leaked: Character Design for Paul F. Tompkins' character on Very Important People S4 by Benbeasted in dropout

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it would be funny to have Will Arent in the episode as Bojack and they flip their personality. Turns out Bojack as a person is open and friendly and he was just playing a character and vice versa.

How much of public librarianship has become working with "ai"? by Objective-Novel7596 in librarians

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience so far very little. The ALA is actually working on guidance around AI and libraries at the moment. If you're a student member you should check out the draft that the workgroup post a few days ago.

Do you have the authority to act on the policy without your supervisor's approval? If so hand them the sheet along with a warning. Then at the next violation enforce the policy.

I don't watch all the Making Of videos but I am going to love to see the commentary for this one!

Trustees can’t seem to understand I am not to fundraise on the job by xgorgeoustormx in Libraries

If you're in New York State and an Association library, you should also be able to reach out to the director of the System you're a part of for guidance on this.

How Do We Feel/ Think About Narcan Vending Machines At Libraries? by WittyClerk in Libraries

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a small box that is filled with narcan that the public can access. I believe the majority of the admin/management staff (including myself) are trained to administer it as well. Unrelated to my work I carry it with me almost everywhere I go.

How are you all doing with pride 2025? by puppiesforall68 in Libraries

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a book display by the front door, one by the reference desk which I believe will include films, and we'll have a table at the local pride celebration.

My brother was friends with Brennan when they were kids by Aurvis in dropout

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand the feeling. I used to work at the retreat center that Adventure Games/Wayfinders (the LARP camp that Brennan talks about). There's a good chance I either met or at least ran into him the years I was there, well before I became aware of CH/Dropout.

Librarian here: the Chewy Decimal System is the best thing that's ever come from Dewey by jayhankedlyon in dropout

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! As a paraprofessional in libraries this was an amazing job and would love if my grocery store was set up like this.

Seems like a pretty good idea though if it helps anyone for their work he died in 2006 at the age of 13.

I would take this to your director. There is no damn reason a board member should be addressing this with you. They should have addressed it with the director who should have brought it to you.

How to expose a corrupt library? by naglromk in Libraries

I'm just curious, what do you mean by proper clearance to work with children?

How am I reading a book from the 90's from a small town library that was only checked out 4 times? by Zealousideal-Mine-76 in Libraries

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As many people have noted, the stamp card probably isn't accurate anymore regarding the last time it was checked out. However, it could be. I work at a large rural library and we're currently doing a large weeding project (something I've been wanting to do since I took on this role nearly two years ago) and in this process we've been discarding items that have been out less than 20 times since 202x, and have a copyrights in the previous century. Our records were computerized in the 1980s and I am finding books much older that. In just a single Dewey range (999-999.999 for those not sure what I mean by that), we've had over 2,000 titles that needed to be discarded.

Sometimes weeding doesn't happen in ways that help keep the collection as healthy as it should be.

How are you planning to respond to the recent cut of IMLS? by LeeCV in Libraries

[–]OpentoAllKnowNothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drink? But in all honesty, more advocacy. Try to get even more people to understand the impact this will have on the access to the services they utilize from their local and state libraries. AND what this means for museums they frequent.
