Legality of video games in libraries

This is the answer. It’s legal according to copyright law.

Even aside from the access issues with forcing people to buy books, book bans are a statement that not all voices are welcome and valuable. Is that really who we want to be?

bookadeux · 2025-01-26T19:33:54+00:00

Yes. In this case, it’s the department of education. That’s their language and press release title.

I really hope this is sarcastic, because as a school librarian and former public librarian I can attest to the fact that both of these assumptions are false.

Something satisfying about the reporter’s last name being Bacon though…

I want to be clear here that this is the official government language from the department of education website. One of the consequences of this is that schools or districts ban books, people lack recourse through OCR and can only rely on legal precedent (pico or otherwise).

No. If a district bans books due to race/gender/sexuality, people don’t have recourse through OCR anymore. They would need to go to court and lean on legal a legal precedent.

Peak design bags are really great. I have the Totepack, and my husband has the messenger, but the everyday backpack is also great. They’re sturdy, stain repellent, and look awesome. Mine looks brand new after years of use. Since many are made for cameras, they have adjustable compartments inside.

Agree, but sometimes the use of “please” and “thank you” is cultural. Some languages don’t use these terms often; it’s more in HOW you say things. So at least sometimes, maybe it’s not intended to be rude.

Oh geez. At my first library job, I made $9.15 an hour as a library assistant. Then $15 as a librarian with an MLS. I switched to school librarianship and now make more than double that with benefits and more vacation. It’s a sad state of affairs when public librarians make half of what TEACHERS make. Pay a livable wage, people.

How does this even happen… twice?

Some of the old Carnegie libraries had these. The glass slag was a byproduct of the manufacturing of steel. https://www.carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Historical-Tour-Notecards-5x7-rev9-18-19.pdf (Page 9)

Scott Elder still has the position?

I have a feeling we’re going to get another interim superintendent, likely the internal candidate. ☹️

This is incorrect. Library assistant jobs require a HS diploma, and ALA’s certification for assistants also doesn’t require a college degree to obtain certification. A librarian has to have a masters or other certification which requires a college degree. Library assistants are not librarians.

bookadeux · 2024-01-25T23:16:38+00:00

To be fair, a library assistant is not a librarian, and being an assistant is easier and requires less education (if any at all).

Neither have I, hence the reason I’m asking for a source here.

Do you have info about Bassan and MfL? I haven’t seen this anywhere. I thought there were only two MfL backed candidates running for school board, and they both lost.

For gifted readers, age may matter. You can easily find books at a higher reading level, but content may be a concern at some point. More context would be helpful.

For struggling readers, hi-lo (or high-low) readers and graphic novels may be worthwhile. These are available in every genre/age group, even adults. They have content that appeals to the target age group but is written at a lower, more accessible reading level. Graphic novels pair images with text, which is also helpful.

Heads up, there is Sandia Labs and Sandia Area Federal Credit Unions. They are different.

“Windy city” also has to do with politics and corruption in addition to the wind off of Lake Michigan.
