That it’s never updated implies they’re not working at home or other branches or anywhere else

They could also transfer all the books on hold waiting to be picked up to another library

It blows my mind that there are people who aren't doing manual labor who will just stop doing their job *for weeks* because they don't have air conditioning. The DC government is the worst.
They were probably assigned to other branches to work at while the AC was being fixed.
+1. Seriously. Those PPs act as if there's only one library in all of DC. Our city is way too accessible for this to be a real inconvenience.
It's hard to think of a job that is less taxing than being a librarian. They can't do it without a/c?

Any evidence of this wild assumption?
Any evidence of your assumption that they aren’t working? Seems more likely the employees are teleworking or working out of one of the many other branches.
I don't need to prove your assertion. You need to prove it.

The Shepherd library had broken AC a few weeks ago- I think it took maybe three weeks to fix? They did a good job of transferring all the hold to the Takoma library and keeping people informed.

I was wondering why there were eight librarians watching me check out my own books at the Georgetown library today.
