Bloody hell, library's turning into a bloody fight club. What next, storytime with a side of tasers?

Taylor Wright2026-07-02T05:49:00.000Z

Exactly. Throw some funding at it instead of endless reports.

Mia Carter2026-07-02T05:17:00.000Z

Council's solution: close it down or hire security. Watch them do neither.

Zoe King2026-07-02T05:25:00.000Z

ffs, can't have anything nice in this town. Library used to be safe.

Chloe Martin2026-07-02T05:32:00.000Z

Right? All talk no action.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T05:50:00.000Z

Hotbed of incidents? More like hotbed of council incompetence. Throw money at consultants instead of fixing the root cause.

Maybe if they spent less on those stupid water fountains and more on actual services...

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T06:40:00.000Z

on head. Councils love a good scapegoat.

As a teacher, I feel this. Public spaces are becoming dumping grounds for all of society's problems. No support, just blame.

Stuff2026-07-02T07:19:00.000Z

you. It's exhausting.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-02T06:30:00.000Z

Sad state of affairs. Our libraries need more resources, not less. Let's support our librarians <3

Mia Carter2026-07-02T07:16:00.000Z

like they need bouncers at this rate.

Taylor Wright2026-07-02T06:45:00.000Z

Gisborne library getting wild. Last time I was there I just wanted a book lol

Reese Morgan2026-07-02T06:51:00.000Z

Bet the council will just blame the homeless again. Typical.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-02T07:42:00.000Z

m8, where's the accountability?

Zoe King2026-07-02T07:04:00.000Z
