This is why my emails and calls aren’t being responded to.

Usually it's pretty easy, I reach out, ask how their day or week is going and if they mention kids I ask how the family is doing. We talk about random things for a bit, then we start going into the latest projects the library is working on and how I could use their help. The usually response is, I never thought a Library would need that, and we schedule the next set of meetings to talk with their internal experts.

Our city’s purchasing policy says we have to go through state approved contracts/vendors before going to other vendors. I was just informed that Staples has a state wide contract, and the sales rep is answering my emails, so they get our business going forward.

For the record, yes I have contacted their manager and still no response. We needed some Chrome Management licenses, and could get them from CDW-G (I work at a library) with a 30% discount. Sent in the order, provided the needed on and off domain emails, then nothing. It's not the first time, with previous times documented, so I have taken the issues to the Purchasing Coordinator for my city. No idea what, if anything, is going to happen next.

We do this where I work, we call it the teen space. The only difference is we don’t want to sell you anything, but ask you to signup for a library card.

It allows local hosting; however, thumbnails are sent through an unprotected, cloud based server where they were also cached. It was easily hacked a while ago, when someone figured out the file names, and their patch was to make the file names more obscure so they cannot be guessed.

I bought them a couple of years before the hack, and shit hit the fan. All my cams are external, so the privacy aspect isn’t as high as those with them inside a child’s room or elsewhere inside.

Already have 5 cases of toilet paper plus the other thing purchases from the last pandemic. UVC sanitation stations, diy hand sanitizer kit, and 3D printed mask face masks and shields.
