Must be for abos

Man...what year is it?

I'm not talking about "closing for maintenance", I'm talking about "closing because your state is bankrupt".
You don't know how dire things are in Rio de Janeiro, my friend. Lucky you.

Good job. You got the joke.

What sort of designated people who try to climb up on a toilet and squat over it, or a hole in the floor, do you think?

>library police
Wut

Yeah, I don't know why we have such a collective hardon for that piece of shit.

not sure if you're trying to deceive me but this would seem to also be the custom of indians (from india not the plains)

i can tell your city has not embraced multiculturalism

>Must be for abos
The "don't stand on the toilet to shit" signs are for foreigners (asians, indians) who prefer to squat. I used to wonder why so many toilet seats had footprints on them.

This sounds about right. My local library (which isn't far from OP's) is like a cross between a daycare centre, a homeless shelter, and a DVD rental store. And it's as noisy as any public building you can think of. It's the last place you'd visit if you wanted somewhere quiet to read or study.

Wow that's wack as fuck

>>reported 2 public deification
Really makes you think

>be Italian

>tfw it costs me 10$ in taxes per year

Thanks God I'm not an ameritard.

>meanwhile my government is corrupt as fuck and my country has a low trust index

One of the reasons I hate being an ameritard. At least I can take solace in knowing that America will implode soon enough.

Any major american city has one that looks like this

How do we fix libraries? Get rid of the computers and free wi-fi?

Hey, my library has a cultist problem too. At least 1 deification and a few assorted sacrifices per week.

>even in these conditions living in Italy is better than living in the US
>tfw even if our government is corrupted as fuck literally no one is starving or dying in the streets
>tfw even if we've got the fucking mafia and an immigration crisis violent crimes are still at an all time low

I'll give you that US is a more powerful nation, but when it comes to the individual citizen Italy is obviously the better place to live in. It's just nicer, safer and more beautiful.
Also virtually everything around you is art of the highest caliber.

Where you at? Wanna hang out I have all day and evening free? When the libraries close at 5pm melbourne central food court can be ok

>making toon porn on a library computer
i would do that

Tell parents that it is not a playground

>reported 2 public deification
This is still illegal? Fucking outdated blasphemy laws.

what the fuck
I was in Australian primary school in 2010
I can't even imagine seeing this shit back then

ikr. why would you put that pulpy steampunk meme-stories trash together with the legitimate master of satirical fantasy?

Bogdatrump ?

...

The library in the city I study at has a floor-high slide in the center. I wouldn't be able to tell anyone it's not a playground.

Good job. You got baited. Unless this is subtle counter-counter-bait. But in that case, this is a bait post too oops i shuldn't have told you ;^)

>pulpy steampunk meme-stories
Verne wrote in the 19th century

There is a new library in the Dockland precinct which has a playground outside
And yet still parents have their kids running around and screaming in the library
Why

Because most parents are shit at disciplining their children and have no respect for other people. Or as my boss once said to me "I don't even hear them yelling anymore"

600 years and STILL they haven't designed a toilet floor that can handle my semen

Someone who is concerned about optimal shitting form.

that's nice. we still have some decent libraries. most pics from this thread on shitty college or small town libraries.

>You've got over due fe fe fe fe fees fees

Patricians.

>tfw library had a huge fire half a year ago so I don't have to return 2 books.
They're garbage tho

what kind of person would stand up after taking a shit and only then deposit the toilet paper used for wiping arse

Women do that

My small town library is quite nice

Wew, I'm glad my library is just populated with little old ladies and the shelves are only stacked with mystery and romance novels. Could be much worse, apparently.

The library I work at is connected to a network drive of all the libraries in my city. They each have a folder dedicated to "Warnings/incidents/Bannings" and I have seriously thought about posting some of them in a library thread after blocking the names out. Of course I would be fired instantly if they found out it was me.

It's like watching cops, all the incidents are recorded since 2008, dudes threatening to kill the front desk ladies, some guy who pissed himself on the same couch seven days in a row requiring seven different warning notices, pictures of crack pipes found in the bathrooms, a guy who will stick his head out from the bottom shelf of the stacks to peek up womens skirts, some old guy who saw a what he considered an inappropriatley dressed 12 year old, loudly exclaimed "I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT" and just punches her in the face, so much wacky shit thats hilarious to read. I was addicted to them at one point and would spend every break and lunch reading them all.

post that shit

There is no good reason for libraries to have WiFi and public computers. If you get rid of them you get rid of 99% of all problems in the library.

He just did.

>the posters against this think certain clothing can only be worn by a certain gender

I guess women should only wear dresses, right? How spooked are you?

>k thanks

The message doesn't even trigger me but that snarky remark at the end does.

My city has plenty of great libraries but the computer area in each one is always monopolized by niggers using Facebook or playing weak ass flash games because they're poor and can't read

And they wonder why I pirate books. Thanks liberals.

Literally the only reason I've ever visited a public library, since high school, has been as a tourist in foreign cities, or occasionally also, if I was out and about and hadn't the time to go home, for printing. If I want any of the kinds of books they're likely to have, I'll download it. If I want a rare book, universities have week-passes. We should stop pretending public libraries are real things and just install 'public access centres' or some-such instead.

>he doesnt moonwalk out of libaries.

I'm having trouble parsing this. What do you mean by 'deposit'?

Atleast you're not Venezuelan. You would be eating the books by now

try a dictionary bro

Do you feel smart, writing that? You remembering that one time you got a High Distinction and thinking this - this sort of wit here - that's the reason I get those perfect grades?

Especially around lavatories, a lot of cultures have a tendency to be euphemistic and leave out important syntactic, assuming others will understand what's meant. Deposit the toilet paper into what? I don't know, because I'm not familiar with the user's vernacular.

Thanks for the contribution, anyways.

*important syntactic details
how appropriate

Rio de Janeiro only had ONE public library and it closed? Seriously? And I thought I lived in a shithole, but in my 2 mil inhabitants city the public library sports 20 branches. I thought things were really going down the drain when the city cut down from 37 a few years ago. And they don't allow homeless people inside or kids running around.

>playing weak ass flash games
I genuinely only thought those things were only played by 12 year olds, but there's grown women freaking out over a poorly re-skinned Snake game 2 aisles down.

>no Frank Herbert
>no Gene Wolfe
What's even the point then

>*autistic screeching*

...

Rio de Janeiro is also the name of the state that encompasses Rio de Janeiro (the city). The state is bankrupt.

In the city of Rio (the heart of the state) certainly there are more libraries. In my city (Niterói) there was only this one that was actually and surprisingly good. The other "library" that I know of is comprised of one room of books, and a fucking staff that doesn't even keep quiet.

I'm really missing spending the rest of my Fridays there after college. Hold me Veeky Forums.

I live in England, and the only library in my medium sized town has no classics and only shitty paperback romance novels. It's also only used by drug addicts and bums for internet access. You're not the only one suffering buddy.

Lol, wtf does that have to do with checking out books?

>.au
I think people are squatting to avoid the black widows under the seat

USA was a mistake
