YES.
I once saw someone point out something I hadn’t really considered before- libraries are one of the only places that are warm and dry where you can stay for long periods of time if you have no money. If you’re someone with nowhere to go during the daytime, they provide a safe environment in which to keep a roof over your head for a while- and all while you can access information.
So yes. This.
It’s weird…libraries almost feel /wrong/ now. It’s like I walk in and think “This is great…where do I put my money?”
I used to work on a campus library and if you want someplace to put your money, so to speak, make sure you put books back in the designated areas. I know you think you’re being helpful by reshelving, but even if you pull something out to read a couple paragraphs just stick it in the basket for things you didn’t want. I don’t care if you know EXACTLY where you are. In academic libraries (at least in Texas) our funding was determined by how many books people looked at. So we got additional funding based on books not being reshelved. If there’s a designated shelf/basket for things you don’t want, stick things in it!
What @standbyyourmantis said about not reshelving is true for public libraries, too. Our funding is dictated largely by how ‘used’ we are, so we scan all the items that are laying about as In House Use. That, tied with Reference Count and Door Counter numbers (we have to manually put in the time we take for references) to prove we’re providing a needed service. We also have to count the number of people who come for our programs, which not only helps funding but shows that the programming/services are needed, as well. So, basically, if you want to feel like you’re making sure we’re getting paid and staying around, keep these in mind.
I didn’t know that’s why you’re not supposed to reshelf!
Huh interesting insight. Reblogging for reference.
Asian Girls and White Men
There is a trending motif in some social justice blogs regarding the “empowerment” of Asian women by telling them they ain’t worth shit if they choose to date a white person. How is this conducive of cultivating the confidence of Asian girls? It paradoxically informs them that “hey listen, the only reason why a white man would EVER date you is because of their disgusting fetish for you. That is all you will ever be to a white man, just a fetish.” From what I’ve read on @chescaleigh‘s blog she has also dealt with criticism for being married to a white man. Why? Because so called liberated and intersectional feminists do not believe that strong women of colour are able to love themselves or be free of internalized racism if they choose to date a white man.
I call bullshit. I say to Asian girls you are not a fetish. You are brilliant and able to discern if a white man only sees you as a fetish or appreciates you for the unique individual you are. Date a person who values your culture and identity. I date a white man because he is kind, supportive, and loving. A white man dates me because I am the fucking bombest girl he will ever meet and I also happen to be Chinese and proud as fuck for being Chinese. So fuck you and your “Asian girls the only way to love yourself is dating within your own race” bullshit. I am sick of being judged for my choice of a mate, I am sick of people assuming the only reason my boyfriend could possibly love me is because of his affinity for my ethnicity and that the only reason why I date him is because I hate myself and my own people sooo0o0o0o much.
Fuck your self serving narrative. There are other ways of dismantling racism and the patriarchy, belittling Asian women is not one of them.
“A wolf pack: the first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed. Then come 5 strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following. Last is alone, the alpha. He controls everything from the rear. In that position he can see everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack. The pack moves according to the elders pace and help each other, watch each other.” -Unknown Cesare Brai’s photo.
