- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 week ago:
Um, idk we do. I work in a busy urban library and we (circ and librarians) check in everything we pick up. We do use RFID tags so that makes it pretty easy.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 week ago:
Yup! They also track the number of times it was renewed.
Definitely! Totals are generally sent to the city/state and come up in budgeting discussions and the numbers are used to determine what books to buy.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 week ago:
Interesting! When you return a book to a different in-network library it stays there? In the US/at my library, if a book belongs to library and a patron returns it at library B, it is sent back to A.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 week ago:
Primarily, yes. But also most libraries run a book through the check-in system when they pick it up. This marks in the system when and where the last time a book was touched was, which can be useful if it were to go missing. But mostly it’s so it doesn’t go in the wrong spot.

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
- Comment on Might be fun idk 9 months ago:
Fair fair. Do you feel the same way about baseball?
- Comment on Might be fun idk 9 months ago:
Do you personally dislike all sports or just football?
- Comment on Me at my library job as the only one who will weed books 9 months ago:
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 nonfiction section grows less quickly so we do 7 year weeds.

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