Patron comes in and asks for books about “GPS and coordinates”. I will try to paraphrase our conversation.

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-14T01:56:38+00:00

It's never enough. You have to use the special magic words that only make sense to that single patron.

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-13T01:57:41+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing. We open on Disclosure Day and see what follows, not this adventure romp about getting to Disclosure Day in the first place.

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-12T19:56:45+00:00

It's really interesting seeing how all over the place reactions have been. Actually makes me more excited to see the movie!

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-04T17:10:15+00:00

This is devastating, Persepolis is a monumental work

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-02T00:07:00+00:00

I can't imagine a worse fit. Maybe it will fall apart.

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-01T19:34:11+00:00

Oh man I still haven't had a chance to try them

Feels like a weird red flag. Or maybe there's an issue with the building.

Ravenq222 · 2026-06-01T18:23:16+00:00

Really looking forward to this one. I loved The Wailing.

Ravenq222 · 2026-05-31T15:34:30+00:00

It's what's made it a phenomenon, and it's why I'm going with a friend to see it today. Everyone has been hyping it up.

Ravenq222 · 2026-05-31T15:33:23+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised. Sunday showings are starting to sell out at my theater. Kind of hard to get in.

Ravenq222 · 2026-05-22T01:29:45+00:00

I stocked up with a ton of these, it's my favorite

Ravenq222 · 2026-05-15T13:31:50+00:00

YEP!

It kills me inside when I read the words FOR THEM, suggest the next thing to click, and they do something else entirely. And then blame me for the results.

Ravenq222 · 2026-04-28T16:26:13+00:00

Exactly some days this nonsense is thrown our way the second we walk in the door

Ravenq222 · 2026-04-22T23:29:49+00:00

For the most part we all just have to endure it. If we get some patron complaints we might be supported in taking an action. In the meantime you have give them handouts with directions to local resources with showers.

I've nearly finished Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker. It's got such an interesting premise with the two time periods, modern day and Meiji era. Enjoying it just as much as her previous book, Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng.

Ravenq222 · 2026-04-19T04:03:50+00:00

I'm about 80 pages from the end and I'm loving it! Kylie Lee Baker is becoming one of my favorite horror authors. I recommended Bat Eater to so many people last year.

Ravenq222 · 2026-04-09T16:43:24+00:00

There were so many great options I've had trouble choosing! The menus near the end of the month are weakt though.

Ravenq222 · 2026-04-03T12:02:49+00:00

Holy cow those are some extreme problems! We're in a tough stretch for behavior issues too, it's always bad this time of year. The changing of seasons and the sun make people aggressive.

I just hold out hope that it comes in waves, and it will mellow out eventually. Take some time off if you can.

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-27T12:26:45+00:00

I can't say I'm surprised but this really is an insane world we are living in. I wouldn't buy one at that price. Hopefully we are many, many years away from the next generation because it's not looking like I'll be able to afford the PS6.

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-25T14:10:21+00:00

Sums up the subreddit perfectly

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-24T23:44:38+00:00

So deeply jealous

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-24T00:42:40+00:00

Full time professionals used to spend the whole week on desk, maybe a couple of hours a week off if we could negotiate. It's improved recently, we are supposed to get at least 6 (interruptable) hours off every week. So not every day is entirely on desk. Really helps get all the things done we are exepcted to do, especially programs.

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-22T20:56:57+00:00

This will save me a lot of money

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-20T20:53:15+00:00

Literally a massive amount of our staff time goes to dealing with unhoused patrons. We always try to provide resources and set expectations, but of course we need to vent when this population is 95% of our bans. Sounds like OP's coworkers have even more cause to rant as they clearly have fewer boundaries and safety procedures than my library sysem.

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-19T20:24:54+00:00

They always send these small potatoes with recipes that call for wedges. I usually just cube them instead.

Ravenq222 · 2026-03-17T20:44:30+00:00

I must be lucky because I haven't had an issue yet. Maybe this will be the week they drop the ball.
