What happens when a librarian asks Redditors “What do you HATE about your public library?”
This is not an anti-library rant. I am a public librarian with 12 years behind the desk. Once a year or so I like to ask reddit what we are doing wrong, what we could be doing better, and what they would like to see from their library in the future. Love to hear what you have to say, thanks for stopping in.
My answer is outreach in its purest form. Read the full conversation @ /r/books.
