I worked in three different libraries during the Covid curbside days. That was a wild time. I can see how a simple video like this one would have cleared up a lot of questions patrons had! This was clever.

I have a short trip coming up and was stressing about working ahead for all of my classes. Thank you so much for this breathing room!

@smartinez Your idea for outreach and a proactive approach for librarians getting out into the schools is a good one. Community partnerships too might be a way to give more kids a chance to read, etc.

Dumping them entirely. My branch is donating a lot of it to schools in the area. We’re using different weeding criteria depending on the section, but we’re trying to stick to items that aren’t circing well and haven’t been checked out in a couple years. And yes, it’s every branch. This is why we’re all pretty upset about the whole thing, but it’s…[Read more]

You didn’t say — are they dumping 1/2 the books entirely, or are they moving them to storage so they’ll still be retrievable? Is it perhaps the outdated non-fiction books…?
Every branch?
That seems…excessive.

And yes, it’s every branch. This is why we’re all pretty upset about the whole thing, but it’s happening whether we like it or not so I’m trying to be positive. It’s hard though.
Also, just to be clear, it’s only the children’s collection. Adults and teen isn’t being affected.

Hi Laurel,
Sorry I missed your comment! I currently work at the Gilroy Library. Before getting a permanent job there, I was a floater and worked at Cupertino, Campbell, and Morgan Hill for short periods of time. Milpitas is one of the libraries I haven’t worked in yet. That’s awesome, though! The library world is absolutely smaller than you would think. -

Jeanna,
I really appreciate the points you make in this post. How can libraries be seen and used as community hubs if they aren’t open at times that the majority of people can visit? I’m lucky to work for a library that has evening hours (open until 9pm) Monday-Wednesday. We recently started up a new monthly program and, for now, we’re…[Read more]

Hi Sara,
My mom is a recently retired Children’s librarian who worked for 20+ years with Santa Clara County at Milpitas Library. What a small world this program is! Which library do you work at?

I’m currently binging everything sci-fi/fantasy! My current obsession is Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Stargate Universe has been disappointing so far. I’m going to a convention in Texas this year and getting a picture with my favorite actor from SG-1 and I can’t wait! I’m also reading through Brandon Sanderson’s books. I read the first…[Read more]
