now.)
It's offensive, too.

Thank you Mr. Hinsdale for making my point. Calling your patrons absurd is
so affirming of the job the board is there to do. As I said, librarians
need not apply.

I may be a librarian (I don't work at MPL) but I'm also a citizen of
Minneapolis. My wife uses the library for work and my kids visit at least
twice a week. Saying that I shouldn't be on the Minneapolis Library Board
because I work in a library is absurd.
It's hard to talk about 'thinking outside the box' when you have two
minutes to make an opening statement and a minute each to answer two
questions. I tried at least two times: one time suggesting that
librarians needed to change the way they provide service (get out from
behind the desk and help people find things in the stacks) and one time
suggesting that MPL stop buying new materials (save for children's and
foreign language materials) until we restore the branch libraries to full
staffing and normal hours.
