Boston

Hmm interesting. I think in small, isolated communities (like islands), that could definitely work. But as soon as you go beyond “everyone knows everyone”, you’d have to start polling everyone to see if they have allergies and that just seems infeasible at scale. Plus, if anyone moves into the community you’d have to ask them and potentially re-home an integrated animal.

I love this story and it’s a beautiful kitty! But hot take: animals should not live in the library. Libraries are specifically for everyone and there are many people who are allergic to or have a phobia of (more common for dogs but still relevant ) cats which would potentially prohibit them from accessing the space and resources

Boston!! These announcements are done by kids with autism and they are even less intelligible then regular train announcements!! (super cute when you can actually hear one tho)

Love!!!

I too have an orange cat named Merlin!!

A very pretty kitty!

Hi Tweek! Those are some magnificent whiskers you have

You are my hero and I love you

Wish this were me rn

Yeah I find watching baseball (professional or otherwise) in person to be wayyyy more fun than on the tv. That being said the recent addition of the pitch clock does make things go much faster even on the tv imo

Fair fair. Do you feel the same way about baseball?

Do you personally dislike all sports or just football?

The city I work in prohibits the selling or giving away of city property so we aren’t allowed to sell them (and truly most of the time they are so old and crusty and yucky that no one would pay any amount of money for them), but if the quality of books is super high we sneakily donate them to More Than Words. That being said we do hold book sales stocked by donations from patrons and the proceeds go into our programming budget.

Hahaha that is hilarious!!

Probably the time I had a book come back with the pages taped back together in a completely random order. Created a wild ride of a story lol

Depends on the library and the type of book. Typical time frames are 10 years, 7 years, 5 years, or 2 years. For example I work in an busy urban library in the children’s room and we were running out of space in our fiction novel section so we did a 5 year then a 2 year when the first one didn’t make enough space. Our biography section grows less quickly so we do 7 year weeds.

It does! We gotta clear space on the shelves sometimes for new books :)

It is a blanket lol but it’s just throw size.

I had never considered printing on a shower curtain!! That’s hilarious and I will definitely be stealing that gift idea so thank you!
