12. To me, the issues

Are, hidden impacts of ideas, etc, on library staff.

Let's take toddler toys. My library had many toddler toys, which would end up with toddlers' saliva on them daily. There was one YA staff member. Severe understaffing, which is common in libraries. Everyday, the one YA worker, non-librarian, had to wipe down and sanitize all the toddler toys. On top of all her other work duties. I mean, yay! Toddler toys are offered. But there are behind-the-scenes impacts not seen by the public. Washing dirty puppets is another example.

Having helped god-knows-how-many patrons deal with myriad life issues, I feel safe to say they got their tax money back in my selfless service. And my dedicated coworkers'.
