just had a grown man throw a screaming tantrum because he couldn't install roblox on our public pcs
I hate the Dewey Decimal system so much.
I legit daydream about the day that I'll finally get around to switching the nonfiction section to the Metis system.
"I can divide by biographies!"
My favorite episode. Donnie is such a patron, and I empathize with the librarian so much. So, a librarians view of the library episode:
-Donnie is so fucking excited to be at the library. Mood. -Inhaling that bibliosmia, which is the proper term for 'old book smell'. -He has opinions on the nonfiction area. ("Geology stinks.") -Is absolutely IN LOVE with the idea of being IN a book. -"Holy Gutenberg." I'm stealing this to use with my coworkers. -Patron is asking for something but doesn't come right out and say it, instead rambling about personal stuff instead of making it easy for both of them. -Doesn't actually ask the librarian for guidance to the information, instead strikes out on his own to find it. (aka Ignoring a resource right at his fingertips, one of the biggest reasons large, high-traffic libraries employ professional, master's degree holding librarians) -Knows what the Dewey Decimal system is and how it works. -Intuitively figured out the mystic library cataloging system, which is hella impressive. -Doesn't write down the call number of the book, thus leaving his brothers in a lurch when he gets blasted into the baby zone.
And can I just say, the book being part of a display was my absolute favorite part. The name of the display, the beautiful display shelf - peak librarianship right there. Making displays is one of my favorite things to do.
Feel so bad for the Bat Librarian (who deserves her own name for the BS she had to put up with!). Like - the wreckage, the destruction, the falling books? Do y'all have any idea how long it would take to collect, organized, catalog, and reshelve those thousands of books?!?! And then the work that would pile up since she has to focus on that? I didn't notice any other librarians in the episode, and it is a well known fact that if you're not a librarian, page, or trained volunteer, we would prefer you put the books on a cart instead of shelving them yourself because there are many nuances to both Dewey and the alphabetical order (St v Saint, etc.). Also it's a mystic library, so maybe there's no need for other librarians because if everything is running smoothly, Ms. Bat can handle it.
I'm fairly certain that if Donnie showed up to apologize, he would be put right to work assisting her in the mundane shelving task. And let's be honest, he would adore it. Raph might be granted the chance to help, since he's such a softy and would likely be genuinely apologetic for the mess now that Mayhem is out of danger. I could see him using his powers to help hold the larger stuff in place for repairs to the shelves, walls, etc., or moving large pallets of books around for Donnie to shelve.
Leo and Mikey? Straight to the kiddie room, if not outright banned from ever entering the mystic library again. (Yes, libraries ban patrons. It happens all the time - when you enter a library, you are agreeing to follow the Code of Conduct. You break it, we ban you, from a month to life.)
Such a good episode. One of my all-time faves from the series.
Honestly, if I made an OC for this world, it would probably be a library manager for a smaller branch of the Mystic Library that is more present in NYC, likely disguised as a 'used book store' that is more public library and less academic library, and more easily accessible for the Yōkai living in the human realm. Instead of hush bats there would be a big, fluffy library cat named LoC who sits on you if you're being too loud.
A frightening percentage of parents do not even know—or care—why we read books at all.
"The purpose of literature is, of course, to open up new worlds and introduce information and experiences. This is what libraries do and why libraries are a monumental resource and a cornerstone of democracy. They offer a whole world to their communities that does not change based on an algorithm. It’s based on providing tools, skills, and resources that benefit as many people as possible outside capitalism, which drives data collection and the resulting feeds curated for a user rather than curated by a user."
On the topic of Book Riot articles that do exist, this is a fantastic read for right now. Libraries and literature are not apolitical when our jobs are to foster an empathetic, democratic, civilly responsible society - one that is under threat at this very moment. I also really loved the quote "Where a feed presents your options for you, the library presents them to you. Libraries are not places of passive consumption but of active engagement." Just spot-on.

I’m running a book fair for the first time and they’re delivering tomorrow, would it be unforgivably nerdy to print out NO ADMITTANCE EXCEPT ON BOOK FAIR BUSINESS in the LOTR!font and stick it on all the doors?
As a poor library kid... Damn does it feel good to now have the power to handwave people's (especially parents/kids) charges. The look of bliss a dad gave me today after stressing over a movie he couldn't find. Like nah we already have a second copy and the one you had was on its last legs I got chu
