How have ubiquitous cell phones changed libraries? My spouse is a social worker and their participants will be unhoused and still have a smartphone. I'm contrasting that with back in 2010 when I was unemployed looking for jobs in a Bronx Library. You wanted to get there early because Hentai dude showed up every day at 11. He'd watch japanese cartoon pornography on his computer and masturbate. They'd sometimes ask him to leave. Sometimes he would but usually he wouldn't. Instead he'd just sit there whacking off for around two hours (really impressive stamina), then he'd finish and leave. While he was on the extreme end, that kind of person was always a mainstay in libraries growing up. I don't see them in libraries as much anymore and I figure it's because everyone has a smart phone now so they can whack off at home. But maybe not? Maybe the world has changed in other ways?

Just as long as the pencil cup is filled with someone's jizz. I'm not a librarian so I don't claim to understand it, but my experience shows that it is an essential component of a functioning library.

:stare: Please tell me you're referencing my tale of woe, and that this isn't ubiquitous.

Any library in an underserved urban environment is going to be jizz central. At least in the Bronx. Funnily enough, Libraries in California have less poop and semen than the outside and are much nicer environments.

But share your story, that sounds fun.
