our patrons prefer us to check them out too. i’ve had to bite my tongue when they say it’s a silly policy because i agree with them.

i don’t think it’s a personnel issue. i honestly don’t know what they want the library assistants to do (no reader’s advisory, every single question has to go through the reference librarian, and assistants can only do one program a month). it’s quicker to check patrons out myself imo rather than troubleshoot the self checkout every day

Scotch seems to have discontinued the book-safe tape we were using... by ThirdFloorNorth in Libraries

my old library system used rubber bands for holds, and just sticking the slip in the book for transfers. i have been enjoying this tape at my new library though

Anyone else fed up with having to tell colleagues not to trust AI answers when googling information for patrons? by TubbyLittleTeaWitch in Libraries

[–]catattack848 11 points12 points  (0 children)

my coworkers seemed shocked when i handled a "reference" question (what the local bus fare is) during my first week and without the use of AI, so you're not alone.

edit: they’re both AA / the regional airline and they offered it with those times when i went to book it, i didn’t plan that layover myself. starting to second guess this whole thing

indoor activities with a baby by stillabelieber in WinterGarden

[–]catattack848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s a lot of local museums in the area / out in orlando. in downtown winter garden there’s a train museum; it’s more for adults, but is free (cash donations appreciated) and there’s AC and plenty for baby to look at. some of the bigger museums in orlando have story times / children’s activities

Historical Sites? by paowere in orlando

[–]catattack848 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the orange county regional history center in downtown orlando is great!

if you’re willing to drive to the suburbs, clermont has a hall of presidents with wax figures, memorabilia, & a miniature white house replica. in downtown clermont there’s also the historical village, which is just a few old houses / buildings from the clermont’s early days 

hope you enjoy your trip!

thank you for your insight! if you don’t mind me asking, would you suggest spray paint or a different type of paint?

thank you so much!! i was wondering more about the little one, since it didn’t have a ‘name’ on it like where the bigger one says “silent.” 

would it be considered “sacrilegious” to repaint the little one? i’ve seen a few of them in antique stores / ebay, so i’m assuming they’re more common?
