I’m not a librarian but I am a patron. Attending the regular monthly meetings, one of the issues my library has been mentioning has been difficulty updating the website in a timely fashion. There isn’t a designated position for that and I can’t imagine there’s much in the budget to hire someone, instead the library basically takes all the updates they need to make and send it to an outside vendor, and there tends to be a really big delay on that. It has caused issues with the monthly meetings where minutes and meeting notes have not been updated in months.

I guess I’d ask for any advice or recommendations on a good website builder that

A. Is easy to setup quickly

B. Is very easy for librarians that don’t have the technological experience to easily plug in information without difficulty

I’m hoping to gather any recs for our next meeting on Thursday, so any help is greatly appreciated!

The reverse of the other post, as someone who's lived in Essex County all my life, I know the whiplash of going through towns and seeing the complete differences in wealth/lifestyles within just a few miles (see Springfield Ave in Maplewood/Irvington)

So to all my lower/lower-middle class people around areas Orange, East Orange, Irvington, etc. What do you do for a living that helps you either live comfortably or at the very least, keep your head just above water, whether it's renting/owning/whatever! (Me at the moment, it's living with my parents while I try and find a decent paying job haha)

Wish my local library was funded like that imao, they have to scrape by for just under a million

Genuinely wasn't something I was expecting to happen, but the fact we kicked out two incumbents last night, particularly the one who was holding the seat for twenty damn years, feels meaningful (Eason's been especially keeping the town down, was the deciding vote against dispensaries in the town, has been especially willing to give 20 year tax abatements to all the luxury apartments popping up). This feels like actual....hope in change coming to the town, instead of just stagnation? Weird Feeling, but it's a good one.

All that's left is dealing with the at-large council members and our shady ass mayor.
