@SailorDisco@mastodon.social @ErikUden@mastodon.de As a non-librarian person that's worked for 17 years as a dev at a library, I agree and also wish people knew we were a safe space and also have free internet and computers, DVDs and BluRays, video games, meeting rooms, a recording studio with mixing gear, free food pantries, a free phone, vending machines, public bathrooms, and a diverse staff. And that's just one little library.

@ErikUden@mastodon.de @SailorDisco@mastodon.social Been coming in here almost every day for nearly 20 years. I don't make as much money as I'd make back in the private sector, but I'd also make less of a positive impact on real people's lives back there. 17 years and I'm still here. 😄

@neilhimself@mastodon.social Kind of bittersweet, but at least it's the baddies that don't like you, cause I work in a library and everyone around here thinks you're the crow's nose!

@frost@chitter.xyz @SailorDisco@mastodon.social @ErikUden@mastodon.de That sounds horrible! Libraries should be a place for everyone!
