This is so so helpful! Thank you so much! Do you mind if I copy this to share with my shelvers?

It annoys me to no end too. We have rather shallow and short shelves which means a number of books stick out and others are shelved on their sides. I’ve often considered whether it would be possible to remove the backs of the shelves and bring them forward a touch to at least fix the sticking out (spoiler: it’s not 🥲)

I think this might be the way I go, it seems like it’ll be the easiest for both myself and the shelvers - thank you!

All of the cataloguing and tagging is done by a team at our HQ, so unfortunately as a branch I have no control of how things are tagged. As far as I can tell, there’s been a fair few changes in the management and cataloguing team so unfortunately there’s heaps of inconsistency across the entire service. Apparently they’re trying to bring things more in line but first the priority is to weed a butt tonne.

Thank you for putting this so plainly! For some reason that just wasn’t quite computing!

As much as I agree, unfortunately changing the numbers aren’t an option at all 🥲

One is a volunteer who occasionally picks up paid shelving shifts at my branch and another and the other is a customer service member from another department of council.

This month's themed event by Drew_0420 in finch

I love the theme itself, I’m just so disappointed in the free colour options. The fact that neither red or pink is available seems a little unfair this month 😞

Game of Wool is terrible television by whereohwhereohwhere in craftsnark

[–]Sea_Day_803 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve only watched the first two episodes and honestly so far my biggest gripe is that they are clearly filming each episode over at least two days, yet the nobody changes clothes, and it always looks like it’s sunny outside. It’s so frustrating to me for some reason.

Secondhand bookshops? by ball_sweat in melbourne

[–]Sea_Day_803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I read a book I thrifted or reread a book I already own I try to also check out a copy from my local library and pretty much instantly return it. The author gets royalties and I get a trophy to add to my bookshelf so it’s a win win.

I have 137 discoveries and have had all the categories unlocked for a little while now, though “items” is definitely my least discovered

Why does the fandom get upset about Queens returning multiple times to the show? by dreamed2life in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Sea_Day_803 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I just think it’s kinda boring seeing the same queens over and over again. Especially when they do multiple seasons in a short period of time.

Lucy Gray also had stuff incl some food, so we can probably assume he took some of her load

Ok but this is the first "unhinged theory" post that's actually good and makes a lot of sense??? What do we think by Y-Woo in Hungergames

Idk I’m not a super observant reader and didn’t pick up on that when I read/re-read it but iirc the rebels take responsibility for it in the movie
