Part Two I have less answers for, though. This is something that ought to be done but is hard to enforce. I think part of the problem is that we're unclear on exactly what the director wants, because she was so gung-ho about getting them in and off the street, and about the library being a place for hanging out, and yet was this really what she meant? She basically just tells us get in there and make sure they stay in line. And then we're encouraged to find them stuff to do, but they never want to do anything. Or they say "Look, i'm reading!" and pull a random book off the shelf while you're looking at them, and then just leave it laying somewhere.
But I'm just longing for someone else to make an Official Library Policy. Jason and I were discussing this morning that most of my problems with assertiveness-- in life in general-- is that I'm just indecisive. I'd rather other people make all the decisions and I'll just roll with whatever they come up with. This is how I do everything in life, pretty much across the board. I'd just rather adapt to what everyone else does than make and stand by a decision of my own. So part of my worries is just being so unclear on WHAT MY DIRECTOR WANTS, and it's waiting for her decisions that gets me hung up, because I feel it's not my place to actually, like, kick anybody out. Like someone like me could physically kick anybody out. But you're the same size as me, and I picture you threatening people with a sword and an Aslan-in-a-Bucket, but then again, you have a sword and an Aslan-in-a-Bucket. But then again again, I think you'd do quite well enough without either of those things, too.
