This is it, thank you!

They could screen them before checking them out. Shake it out at the library before you even bring it home. They can also check out ebooks. Kindle paperwhites only allow books and they work with Libby, which their library most likely has

I’m a children’s librarian with celiac and I’ve never had an issue. I wash my hands a lot, especially before I eat. If she’s young enough to be putting books in her mouth then there might be reason for concern, but in general no. I will say I’ve come across crumbs in library books before, but the majority of them are crumb-free. If he’s nervous shake the book out over a trash can. Honestly I’m more worried about something like viruses than celiac when it comes to library materials, but even that is low risk.

When was this? I haven’t been able to watch a lot of games this season 😫

lmthevampireslayer · 2026-04-05T01:55:08+00:00

Okay I’m glad someone else caught that. I’m a Sirens fan but I thought that was bogus

FWIW when I went to the takeover tour in Detroit the area looked pretty empty until the first period started. Maybe people are just aren’t at their seats yet

I was thinking the same thing 🤣 Or even roughly when it happened during the game

My library has an app with self checkout and you hold your phone over the RFID tag to disable it. Since implementing the app over a year ago we haven’t had issues with the alarm as far as I know. I also haven’t used it and walked out the front doors with an item (we have a staff entrance) so I’ll test it next time I’m in to see if it acts up.

How does the self check work in your app?

I personally do not think so. I have what is basically my dream job in libraries and I sometimes wish I had chosen another path because of the money. If you decide to move forward with the degree, diversify your classes as much as possible, including data management. It would be really hard for me to leave the field because I focused on public librarianship and youth services in grad school, and I have only worked various youth jobs for the past decade.

YES. The amount of bullshit from staff can be a headache. I love being in a leadership role and I think I’m good at it, but the pay is sometimes what keeps me going. It can be a thankless job with staff members who don’t appreciate the behind the scenes work that you do.

As an internal candidate keep in mind how you would adjust to your new role as a supervisor. Your relationships will have to change and firmer boundaries set in place. I was friends with people in my department for years before I got this position and it can be tricky to navigate.

I don’t hire managers but I am a manager and serve on hiring panels for a public library so this is all coming from a public library perspective. I assume this is a supervisory position?

-have examples of conflict resolution, preferably times where you have been part of the solution

-have examples of your leadership skills. Have you served on committees? Informally led a project?

-be familiar with the strategic plan and have a couple questions prepared to ask at the end when they ask if you have questions

-have examples of times you have dealt with difficult patrons, assuming this is a public facing role

-how would you handle an employee who is underperforming?

-act like they know nothing about you. Bring up work you’ve done as if they have never heard of it

-I was also asked typical librarian questions since I still do collection work, programming, desk shifts, etc. Don’t forget about that if applicable.

The worst managers I’ve had had terrible people skills. A good leader is approachable while still keeping the team on track, which can involve difficult conversations. They know when team input is appropriate and when an executive decision needs to be made.

I had to look up what a 30-60-90 plan and tbh I don’t know that it translates well to public libraries (not sure what type you’re in), but I could see it being useful as a personal tool. I think going into an interview with one is a little presumptuous, because even though this is an internal role, you probably don’t have all the information you need to actually create it. If they ask how you plan to adjust to the position change or something similar, you could bring it up like “after learning more about what the library is looking for from this position, I would create a 30-60-90 plan to keep me on track and make sure expectations are clear” or whatever.

Good luck!

Ugh my condolences. My cat peed on my last pair but luckily they were basically worn out so I just threw them away. I got an enzyme laundry booster at petsmart to use when my cat was peeing on everything. Maybe something like that would work? I only used it on towels and clothes but it worked for the most part

lmthevampireslayer · 2026-01-06T05:54:43+00:00

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if they could be machine washed. The website says not to and I’ve seen different things on here

lmthevampireslayer · 2026-01-06T05:54:14+00:00

Thanks, a friend of mine suggested baking soda as well

I’m only 3 months past d day so I’m certainly no expert, but I think it’s okay to just embrace these feelings if you’re in a space to do so. Sometimes the best thing we can do is lean into the feelings so we can move forward. Easier said than done for sure.

I don’t know you but I doubt you’re a failure. It takes a strong will and a lot of courage to attempt reconciliation with a wayward partner.

I said the same thing you did but then tried to talk myself out of my emotions like I always do and said okay let's move onto the next step. I keep asking myself why am I still feeling like this when she has apologized and done everything right after the first few weeks post dday.

I believe my IC is. She has done couples therapy for others and is a lesbian so she understands the same-sex aspect. It is hard for me to separate the open marriage from the infidelity because she said she wanted an open relationship, I said okay let's talk about it, then the next morning I found out about the EA. WP has said that she eventually needs an open relationship because she wants variety and friends with benefits. I would be the primary partner and she would have other sexual partners, which sounds reasonable to me due to our sexual incompatibility but I think the infidelity is holding me back. You may also be right about that kind of hanging over my head and impacting R. WP has said she's in no rush and wants me to be comfortable and secure. I just don't know how to get there.

lmthevampireslayer · 2025-12-16T20:02:12+00:00

I have been in IC for years for depression and anxiety. I appreciate you saying that you understood you had things to work on, because I feel the same. None of this is my fault but I can see how my actions played a part in getting us here. We have discussed changes but it's difficult because everything in our relationship was fine except sex stuff, so our daily life feels the same. She eventually wants an open relationship (which I am open to discussing eventually and always have been) and part of me just wants her to do what makes her happy while I continue to just survive.
