Were I not about 15 years shy of retirement age, I would have too. I'm fortunate to live in a state with some of the fewest restrictions so they didn't get away with the mask nonsense/covid theater for long. We had a state mandate for a couple months and then our governor reversed course and made it illegal to mandate at all in public spaces. The library would probably still have its own mandate if not for that. 🙄

I feel you on the hand holding too. A 3 year social worker grant is about to expire and I'm kinda terrified that when it runs out and the city decides not to fund the position we'll be inundated with people who've come to rely on her for just about everything. They already throw a fit when she takes a day off. Idk, I've yet to be convinced it's helping more than it's ultimately hurting. It's like in all areas we're teaching people to be less resourceful.
