Child 1 (carrying over board game to table): “Wanna be my friend?”
Child 2: “Sure!”
Child 1: “Let’s play!”
The simplicity of children when they’re not encumbered by the ridiculousness of adults. Truly. 🥰

This hurts to even think about.
There’s no denying this is unethical. But things would need to be really bad for a library to make this choice. I read the board reports, things are REALLY bad.
Cities must dedicate more resources to counter crises so it doesn’t all fall on the library.

Why are people surprised when they walk in to the library literally 30 seconds before we close and we tell them sorry, we're closing?
A public library constant.

Interesting results, especially (to me) the disparity between in-person librarian suggestions and library displays. Ccing @vantine.bsky.social @raforall.bsky.social #ReadAdv #Publibs
Dear library people who proclaim equity above all, if you are making people come into libraries when they are open to do things they could do online or via phone call... are you sure about that?

Library work is meaningful, and it can also be exhausting. Burnout, moral injury, and blurred boundaries are real, and library workers deserve more than “just coping.” ThriveLib exists to center care, humanity, and sustainable ways of working, and to create space for honest conversations about what library work really asks of us. CFP opens Feb 27

Scripts are really important for library staff to have and practice to help set boundaries and expectations around patron behavior. I made a Google doc for examples. Anyone can edit and add more docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🚫🧊
One of our librarians used AI to create a poster for our book sale, and it's very typical. At first glance it looks fine, but the more you stare at it, the more small abnormalities are noticeable.
The worst part is that the word "Book" is spelled incorrectly 🫣
