Great thread idea! This is interesting to read. Are all American librarians given training on Narcan? Are you allowed to veto book choices for kids that seem like a bad idea? Like if a six year old wanted to check out American Psycho?

I use the King County Library system and Hoopla and Overdrive are fantastic. I've been enjoying Hoopla's ridiculous archive of top tier comics (finally getting around to Sandman and Hellboy) that are easy to read on a tablet, and Overdrive has a great collection of audiobooks.

Regarding outdated books, some that stand out at used bookstores are late 80s populist economic writings about how we need to fear the Japanese taking over the world and buying all our skyscrapers. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples but those come to mind as not even being interesting from a novelty perspective. Would stuff like that or like "Windows 95 for Dummies" be automatically bound for the pulp mill? I have been enjoying using Hoopla and Libby. Hoopla is excellent for comics and I like how it gives you 10 borrows a month and a 500 page collection counts as one. I think someone mentioned Overdrive and I had used that but it was a bit clunky, but Libby is fantastic. Great UI, especially the little "thanks buddy!" if you return something early someone else has on hold.

Our local library has a great kids section but is there a reason lift the flap books for toddlers aren’t more common? Do they just get destroyed too fast?
