Reminds me of my shitty BOE;
Teachers went over a year without a contract. The schools run through new teachers like water; they spend a year in the towns school system, then go somewhere where they're actually appreciated and paid well.
Apparently, one of the BOE members made a comment, "get in the boxcar," in regards to masking up during COVID, to a Jewish woman.
Town voted her out real quick after that one. Blew up a little too, on NJ.com. The mayor was quoted as saying "keyboard warriors," were causing a ruckus online, and "being mean."
That was literally the man's only defense.
God, does everyone's BOE suck?

If you can't be bothered to clean off your car, get one of those snow tarps.
Laziness doesn't mean you get to be an asshole.

Yeah, the policy was implemented, but it's not like people actually followed it.

I prefer podcasts where I can actually learn things; ones that back up their claims and cite their sources.

NPR has the Moth radio hour, and the most incredible stories I've ever heard, like the British man who crossed the English channel in a bathtub and almost caused an international incident.

At least it would have been started. That's at minimum two years of people having worked on it, gone.

I just think it's sweet that you came to reddit to tell anyone who would listen to the good news because you just had to tell someone.
You made me smile.

Where else are you gonna find VHS tapes?
Some libraries even have the old players you can check out too, to watch them on!

Considering libraries are one of the last great bastions of places where one can exist without being expected to spend money, yeah.
And they often have access to audiobooks and ebooks, making apps you have to pay for, like audible, pointless.
Better funding would help create a more welcoming environment for children by adorning their section with artwork of their favorite characters; comfy, bright colored furniture sized for them, and beanbag chairs. One of my most vivid childhood memories was of the giant stuffed dragon (really more like a big, round, green pillow with a tail, fabric wings, and feet with shiny fabric claws). I adored sitting or laying on him when I was reading.
Additional funding would also allow more public events-- summer reading programs, weekend kid's crafts and clubs. Libraries also offer an excellent introduction to the workforce -- with the potential to hire high schoolers as pages, and readers for children, instead of volunteering.
