AnneArchy Anne<p>subbed at a neighboring library today, which I do on occasion. helped a lot of people get tax forms and print documents, place holds on TV series on DVD, and find information on assorted topics. Reminded repeatedly that our tax filing system is overly complicated, especially for people without a lot of resources, and plenty concerned that it will only get worse given current events.</p><p><a href="https://glammr.us/tags/LibraryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryLife</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/ReferenceDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReferenceDesk</span></a></p>
