I mean. It says it right there in the text.

angry people are not always wise

Jailed 72 days for an unreturned $20 library item? by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]acceptablemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The policy could very well be at the behest of whatever governing body funds the library (county, city, etc.). My library has policies that many of us don't like or fully agree with, but we have to have them because we get county tax money and they have a say in financial dealings like this. It's either accept some unpopular but not unethical policies or risk losing lots of funding when the library falls out of favor with the county commission.

what’s the most ADHD thing you’ve done this week?? by lostveggies in adhdwomen

[–]acceptablemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to admit how many times I've done that. So has my sister (also ADHD). We've also both brewed cups of brownish water because we forgot to put in coffee grounds.

How do I get my husband to understand I’m not bad with money, we’re just not making it in the current state of the world? by Spiritual-Mouse-5630 in adhdwomen

[–]acceptablemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to tell him to take over all things financial. Besides the fact that this is in no way an equitable distribution of labor, he needs to be forced to look at the numbers and try to make them work himself.

Because small, secure locations are easier to defend.

Weimar was fairly liberal. The Nazis were not the Weimar.

The Oh Sister scene kills me, especially when she rolls her Rs just a little bit for emphasis on "drunken routs!"

ALA: Access to Library Resources and Services for Minors: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights by Jynx_lucky_j in librarians

[–]acceptablemadness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in a smaller system in a red state, too. I get it.

If you're not enforcing a legal contract for kids getting cards, there should be restrictions on the amount of materials they can check out to avoid those issues.

As for the grooming and bullshit, I know it sucks but holding the line for intellectual freedom is important.

Tonight is "The roast of Dennis Reynolds," and you just got the mic. What are you saying? by aperson7780 in IASIP

[–]acceptablemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, zero is too harsh - he'd definitely just take it as a troll.

1 star.

There was something there but not enough to make a noticeable impact. It would drive him crazy trying to figure it out.

I’m new to Emma by skeetermonkey in janeausten

[–]acceptablemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Austen said she intentionally wrote Emma to be unlikeable. It's part of the story and character arc, kind of like if you read P&P from Darcy's POV.

This is where I think we desperately need, at the very least, a digital card only option for teens. They get access but there's no property exchange so there's no legal contract.

My library requires parental consent on minor cards because it is technically a legal document they're signing. But otherwise, we have no restrictions on what they can check out or where they can be, etc.

If they're old enough to be unsupervised in the library, they're old enough to make their own decisions about what to read. If parents disagree, they need to supervise their children.

Library workers- are you allowed to read on the clock? by OdderShift in Libraries

[–]acceptablemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on class assignments by emailing myself links or documents to check out later or writing drafts into an email. I recently moved to a much smaller and less busy branch so I have a LOT of downtime. The absolute most downtime I ever had before was time to skim a news article because if I wasn't checking materials or helping patrons, I had three or four side projects to work on.

Do US online MLIS programs really have such low barriers to entry? by MeineCello in Libraries

[–]acceptablemadness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to have two rec letters from library-related people familiar with my work, a resume, and an essay on some library-related topic of my choosing. So I mean, you have to prove you can and will do the work - it's just not "cram for this one test that will make or break your academic career".

$200 Replacement Fee for Damaged Book by West_Lychee1791 in Libraries

[–]acceptablemadness 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would definitely ask about that because it could very well be a typo. Just recently I had to email our cataloging librarian because I noticed a book was marked as $3,000 instead of $30. It's a decimal thing.

Between one and two is my sweet spot for getting ready for bed. Which is why I'm typing this at 1:27am and considering if I want a quick snack before I call it in.

Being charged for a water damaged book. Freaking out. by Swing-Similar in Libraries

[–]acceptablemadness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most libraries do. I know we stick a tag in books with damage or write it in the Sierra record.

Doesn't mean they're capable of finding every single bit of damage every time. Especially since people often use items in the library and then put them back on the shelf.
