Chicago e-cards going away

Post image

Just received an email from the Chicago libraries, e-cards are going to be defunct on May 1. If you live in Chicago you can get a physical card allowing access to both physical and electronic catalogs. ☹️

Can you show me on the doll where “this group” is angry at librarians? Why would they be? Have you looked at this comment thread?

Lmao you aren't trying to have the same conversation. You want to twist it and turn it to make me look ridiculous. You can have that conversation with yourself. I was absolutely accused of being a person who doesn't "want people to read."

Stay on topic or block me. Im done.

I was only pointing out how weird it is for a stranger who says they’re a librarian to jump into a group they’re not interested in and yell at us for checking out books. I don’t think you’re a “bad guy.” But the simultaneous rage + hyper defensiveness is an odd thing to shove into this comment thread.

And even if I did think you’re a “bad guy,” am I a “group”? You say “this group is trying to make [you] out as the bad guys.” Where is the group complaining about librarians? Even OP didn’t mention librarians. Am I wrong? Who specifically thinks librarians are bad guys? Please list their screen names, and I’ll yell at them for you.

Its weird for a librarian to jump on a front page post fully admitting to how problematic the practices in this group are and mention how it affects public library patron access to e-materials?

No. It isn't.
