1. Late fees, especially on kids’ library cards are stupid. It doesn’t “teach kids responsibility.” It teaches them to be ashamed of coming to the library if they can’t pay the fine.

I may have “accidentally” deleted fines when kids with armfuls of books they’re excited to read came up to the checkout desk. Librarians want people to enjoy reading.

2. Many librarians don’t want you to whisper and won’t “shush” you. We want you to play, participate, ask questions and enjoy reading. I prefer to shush the shushers.

3. Folks who are unhoused or don’t have a permanent address can check out books in many library systems. Please talk to a librarian. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy reading.

4. There is no shame reading books from the Children’s or Young Adult section. There are some excellent books there! I’ve been known to retrieve books for folks who felt embarrassed getting those books for themselves. Did I mention we want you to enjoy reading?

6. College students need what public libraries offer in an academic library. They need board games, book clubs, recreational reading, craft programs, therapy dogs, etc.

9. If you check out a book by James Patterson and it gets damaged or lost, usually it’s ok. Libraries get so many damn copies of those, they dont have shelf space for them anyway. Just enjoy reading it!

I recently watched an episode of Jeopardy where the returning champion admitted to committing I.D. fraud with multiple aliases and addresses to circumvent the lending limits! 😆

I volunteer as "librarian" at our small town, all volunteer/donation library. I waive fines on late books. I'm happy the library is being used & books are being returned. Over 7,000 books in our collection! And internet everyone can use. One day, I helped an older lady complete a job application!

Fun thread, thanks! We visited the Boston Public Library recently and were surprised when the librarian in the teen section told us we didn’t have to whisper! It’s so ingrained that it’s hard to stop lol
