FYI about comments
Posted on June 23, 2009 by Sara Ryan
Hey all -- Just wanted to let everyone know that if you post and you don't see any comments, it may be because we haven't had a chance to moderate the comments yet. "We" being defined as me -- I'm the library's Teen Services Specialist, and moderating the comments on this blog is one of approximately a gazillion things I do.(Moderating, for those who may not have heard the term before, is basically just checking whether the comments are spam.)
But I'm moderating them at least once a day Monday-Friday, more often if I have the chance, so you shouldn't have to wait *too* long to see comments show up. You can also check the box to be notified by email when new comments to your post show up. (And the reason we have to moderate the comments is that we were getting literally thousands of spam comments.)
Also: thanks to Keri for this great comment in response to one of the boredom-related posts:
Go ask the librarian in charge of volunteers for something to do. You
can do clerical work, sort through and organize the coupon book or
prize bin, roll up teeshirts, decorate the Summer Reading Desk area,
and even help out by pulling holds, preparing fliers, cleaning up the
magazine or children's area, etc. You are here to help out the library;
it is your job to figure out how you can be useful instead of
complaining of boredom.
