Generally avoid; excluding their EV charging in their parking lot which i use often. I dont go inside when charging.
>Why or why not?
As a middle aged man, im not welcome there. Multiple times ive been treated like im going to kidnap a kid. 1 time they demanded I show them an ID card just for entering the library; police cant even demand an ID unless im arrested. I understand the importance of their training to prevent kidnapping but it spills onto innocents.
I have historically done IT work for many libraries in the area. At the time of being IDed that one time, I wasnt there in any professional manner, but I at that time had access to all their firewalls, including their FMC. I was pretty trusted...
I consider as well, I'm not a fan of the sexually explicit LGBT books that they proudly display. Any age kid could pick up those books and see genitalia. I am trans... but that is too far.
There's nothing that they ever do that's for me. I talked to them during a festival, they had a booth. I asked them for a chess club and they said no. This was peak covid chess popularity.
Literally going on their website now and looking. There's "volunteer tech tutor" but like im currently watching devstral code a netflow tool right now. Im guessing it's not for me.
There's a "practice your conversational english" but like that's my native language.
Then there's "canadian citizenship preparation" but im a citizen by birth.
Over a month from now is the monthly book club. Several months from now is 'basic sewing skills'
Just literally nothing for me to go to the library.
No. 0 cards.
