  • I think you’re writing stories for librarians. Their whole existence relies on people using the books. They don’t want you to put the book away because, A- you’ll do it wrong and B- they count them for their general statistics which helps with their funding. They don’t want you being a pretend librarian, they went to school for it and are better at it than you.

    People hide books, forget to return books and damage and destroy books. Librarians moniter and curate the collection. Libraries are not museums, the catalog ebs and flows and is a constant state of flux. I can tell you that me wife is happiest when she comes home from working a busy shift where the library was full of people.

    Sure, there are the librarians that yell at kids and give you the stink eye for asking questions, but they’re just everyday-sadists and they’re everywhere.
