[...] In other words, this will be a place where we can ask questions about working in a library, seek help on reference questions, find out how other libraries are handling a particular issue, and, yes, whether or not we need more signs in the library (no). [...]

I posted what my library does to discourage playing with the automatic door button - not perfect, but one example.

Very interesting post. Currently, I’m looking for good library signs so parents don’t encourage their kids to press the handicap door button. It’s such a common event over here,but it’s …not for kids to have fun with,hehe. Unfortunately, the library is filtering those links to apparently keep my eyes from burning. I just find that ironic and funny!
Oh, I didn’t post my real email address btw.

Sorry Vickie – but doesn’t the library look so much now? And yes, you can go crazy without any help from me.

PS: don’t tell Becky.

Woo hoo! I also take down bad signs. It is amazing how quickly the proliferate. It’s like bad sign fairies/elves sneak in at night and put them up.

A sign doesn’t fix every problem. Most people don’t read them anyway!

I *KNEW* we had more signs in the past and I have looked for some of these, but assumed I had only imagined their existence. I can go crazy without your help.

[...] Removed Library Signs, originally uploaded by herzogbr. Here’s the photo’s Flickr description: These are some of the signs I’ve taken down (without telling anyone) around my library since I’ve worked here. I think an uncluttered area is nicer, and that fewer good signs is better than lots of signs that no one reads. Read more of my complaining on my website. [...]
