Re: controversial opinions thread

What do you mean by re-shelve books? And wow I had no idea people steal from libraries. I thought the barcode on books prevented anyone from taking anything without borrowing it first.

I'm not a librarian, but my mother is. Those barcodes can be removed... not easily, but they can. Also the security system gives off false alarms and if you don't stop walking, chances are nobody will chase after you because the library staff here is 80% little old ladies.

People have also stolen pages out of coffee table or reference books by simply cutting them right out of the binding. CDs/DVDs get stolen by someone who steals the disc and leaves the case (with the security barcode!) hidden somewhere in the library. It's kind of crazy and awful what people do.

AYRT--oop, didn't explain the reshelve thing--when you're browsing in a library, take a bunch of stuff off the shelves, and only check out a quarter of it because not all of it looked interesting or useful on closer inspection, we want you to leave the stuff you didn't want on a cart or the designated shelf end or whatever, so we can put it back, because first we mark down that it was looked at and not checked out, which can sometimes save stuff that's not often checked out from being culled, and is pretty much the only eay to see which reference books are popular.

Oh I had no idea!! I always ended up reshelving the books I didn't borrow because I felt bad for leaving it. I will keep this in mind when I go to the library. Thanks for the clarification!
