Yeah it was also really critical to learn cursive

In this society where it's rare that I actually have to physically write something down.

I had a different grade school librarian tell me I wouldn't get into high school if I didn't write in cursive. Thanks lady, but I'd rather people be able to read what I wrote.

Whoa there, my friend. I browse the shelves. :eng101:

But I'm also a cataloging librarian who can't switch off. :eng99:



In grad school, we had assignments where we were given enormous Dewey numbers, like 663.2260946915*, and then we'd have to diagram the numbers to break down what every digit signified. It was loads of fun!

You went to grad school to be a librarian?

libraries are great and there are many fun and educational things you can do there in addition to checking out books. everyone should come down and check out their local public library today!

Cutter numbers make no sense to most users.

Also the legacy of Dewey is now libraries having to teach both LOC and Dewey or recoding and converting from Dewey to LOC.

That and it's a popular cat name.

When homeless look up porno or publicly masturbate in a library they're actually honoring Dewey's legacy as an enormous pervert. Next time you see a hobo rubbing one out over by the Agatha Christie just look him in the eyes and say: "Hey I love Dewey too. mind if I join?"

Fun fact: in the 19th century people used to complain about the homeless reading free newspapers at the public library.

I don't go to the library because I already have a book but an old guy I know goes there because he doesn't own a computer. Anyway, after having put up with all the wankhobos he finally snapped and clocked a guy who was doing a poo poo on the floor while browsing on the computer next to him. He got banned but the shitterhobo didn't.

if he reported the shittting hobo instead of clocking him he would have had a good chance of getting that guy banned. he would have definitely been kicked out for making GBS threads on the floor. but we can't have people doing violence to each other, gramps hosed up.

Shame he can't read your informative post on account of having no computer and being banned from the library :mmmhmm:

all the librarians post their juicy gossip to the American Library Association Forums. this is where librarians make fun of the most annoying or smelly patrons behind their back. it's kind of like SA so it costs :10bux: x 7 to keep out the riff raff.

A really good friend of mine is a librarian and she says that there are some patrons that absolutely live to be lovely with her about anything. Luckily she's super sassy and her boss has her back but that doesn't stop Joe Analwartson from screaming about how he pays her salary. He doesn't, it's grant money.
