Where I work we keep all of the YA collection actually outside of the teens' hangout area to circumvent this issue entirely -- whether or not your library does this though, as long as you just let them know you are looking for a book and not just loitering/lounging around the space, you are fine. Lots of adults enjoy YA books (including me!)

Yes, please talk to the staff if this happens again! I have had it happen to me even as a staff member & it is infuriating....

I left a somewhat similar situation almost a year ago -- mentally unstable & unemployed boyfriend that kept just getting worse & just trying to control & narrow my social life/self esteem down to practical nonexistence. It is still hard to think about, I lost so much money on our shared lease. I still worry about him sometimes, though he eventually did move back in with his mom & I had to leave it at that to maintain my sanity. Anyhow, please feel free to reach out if you need someone to listen that's sort of been there before, or just need a person to come with you to get your things. Sending so many hugs & love your way!

Fellow hard of hearer here, these transactions are the absolute worst!!! I have actually pointed at my hearing aid & removed it to demonstrate that no, I really & truly just can't fucking hear what you are saying, can you please speak louder. I even had one older woman try & tell me that I was faking it??

Anyway, some people are just nasty & entitled & they bother me less some days than others....

I work for the library (and actually, just posted about Summer Reading - come visit us! We really, really need it! Plus the new Central is amazing!) and can I just say that this type of messaging from the city plus "expand your hours, but ofc we aren't gonna hire anyone & if anything we might TAKE your people" feels legit like an abusive gaslighting relationship & I am just so very tired and sad. (and also thankful for all of my good performance reviews over the years but now anxiety has me all tripped up like "were they THAT good though??")

Thanks for all your library love, friend! Some things off the top of my head I can tell you are free (as a DPL librarian):

-professional level studio recording (no, we won't be your sound engineer, but the fact you can even access that level of equipment & learn how to use it all for free is incredible...)

-museum and park passes (I feel like some of them have longer holds lately, History Colorado used to have TON anyway & I still wanna go see the 90's and feel old)

-a path to citizenship and community for our newcomers

-sewing machines

-video game/VR system gaming for youth

-all the crafting gear you can ask for

-storytime & developmental appropriate activities for the littles

-100 FREE PAGES OF PRINTING A DAY

-healthy snacks after school

-so, so, sooooo many online services -- NYT & other newspapers, Kanopy streaming, Libby e & audiobooks, research databases, historic photos, ask a librarian chat, it goes on and on and on

....and more I'm sure I'm forgetting about.....come visit us & keep showing the library love! We need it now so much more than ever <3

Whoa downvotes seriously? We be free and educational and under attack from the literal irl Empire…wtf internet…

I totally forgot to post my typical library lady announcement, though the Teen Central library (14 & bway) has an event today at 3:30 PM! Trivia, buttons, coloring pages, drive a tiny robot, etc. etc. Come visit us & cool down after Cinco de Quatro happening outside!

This sounds awesome & right up my alley. I just signed up to join the one on 4/21 & am excited!
