*in the US

I have been to libraries in the US and in Europe and in Europe you are supposed to return the book exactly where you got it from if you dont decide to check it out. In the US though I was yelled at for doing that.

Y'all must realize "Europe" isn't one single sort of entity that defines all rules...

In Romania you are required to hand it to a worker to have it checked in and catalogued, you can't just put it back because they need to know if you went over your holding period or not. You're not allowed to keep it forever

I think they're talking about books you've read in the library and decided not to check out, not books you've already checked out, taken home and are now brining back.

Ohhh okay.

Yea we do put those right back, they don't keep track of reading sessions per book or anything like that

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

This. In Austria most libraries have a self-scan machine where you have to return your books and the librarians will sort the books back in. Part of the reason for that is that they need to check the condition the books were returned in.

I don't know where you've been but most libraries I've seen in Germany have little carts where you put the book you don't want to check out. Our university library even had signs asking to please put books on the carts and not reshelve them yourself.

Hmmm, how do I work in shitting on the U.S. in this post about libraries? I know! I'll conflate all 44 European countries into one amorphous blob. Lol, owned.

I'd ask you your country of origin but you'd never tell me if it's Russia or China.
