Not to discredit this but I feel like maybe there should be a directory about all topics with shelf numbers and not just about hard to talk about topics?
As a library, you should give me a directory where I can find anything I want. And these topics could be included in that one directory and not singled out in the middle where anyone looking at it can be targeted by some fucking bigot.
Yes, but any librarian you might ask for the directory, is going to ask you what you are looking for.
Not if im crippled with social phobias, or dont want to bother a busy person at their desk. Also, the librarian at our school 30 years ago was an evil bitch which made me swear off reading books altogether.
Friendly Mod remider to keep our community welcoming to all and please adhere to the guidelines on our main page and engage in discussions without using using sexist terminology.
The librarian at your school 30 years ago probably also taught you about the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal System.
You're probably not telling the total truth, but maybe consider that one person being unpleasant 30 years ago isn't a good reason to abandon an entire form of media for your entire life. Let it go. The librarian is probably dead by now, and they don't have to matter to you anymore.
Every library I've been to in the past decade has had computers everywhere that can search their catalog, and even check out books & media yourself. My library also has a 3D printing and craft room, an esports room, and lots of accessibility tools and conveniences for both mental and physical needs.
Wait ... You don't read books?
Sounds like a cartoon villain origin story. The Bibliophobe!
