So you work offsite, rarely visit, and are making sweeping judgements on how patrons you don’t even see or interact with would be behaving in a hypothetical scenario?
Lol.
Was there again this morning and remembering this "conversation" I asked the Executive Director, Business Manager, and the Assistant Director about it.
These were the three comments they all made, although in slightly different orders:
-"How is it going to be funded? Keeping the Staff and Security here until 10PM or later would be expensive and its not in our budget."
-"A lot of people won't come out after dark so it would likely be the same people that come and sit here all day. They'd just be staying later."
-"We have enough behavior problems during the day. I can't imagine how it would get late at night."
I also asked the head Librarian about the Library as a 3rd Space for the public. She shook her heard and said "I understand the idea but it wouldn't work. The Staff isn't here to play baby sitter so people can sit around and chat."
So there ya' go; three Administrators and a Librarian.
Now I challenge YOU to go to YOUR local Library and talk to the Administrators and Librarians there. I'm interested to know what they tell you.
the part where logging in to a computer remotely is apparently as good as visiting a place in person fucking sent me. this is what being online 24/7 does to a person.
Reviewing the actual logs which collect data over long periods is more reliable.
Btw where the fuck did they say that they never visited the place? For all we know they have worked for the library onsite for months or even years.
Yeah, I know what you mean...
It doesn't say that anywhere because I'm physically in there 3-4 times a month and have been for nearly 20 years. I really wonder how long its been since the people shit talking have been in a Public Library and witnessed what's going on in them these days. Our Library, in a town of roughly 60,000 people, had to get Security back in 2018 because there were too many unruly patrons causing problems for the Staff to handle.
wow you seem to have taken that really personally, almost like you're a sock puppet
Lol.
I just found stupidity and it's amusing to question them.
