    Wow. That’s a lot of books. The article reminds me of Barbara Ehrenreich’s opinion of Wal-Mart’s drug testing (Nickle and Dimed). It is interesting that a lot of these companies will drug test cashiers but not their CEO’s. Hmm… is your business more threatened by a cashier using drugs, or when its the CEO using drugs? I think in the business context, there’s an underlying assumption that people working low-paying jobs are more likely to use drugs. Now, even if that were true, the impact on the business seems minimal. It seems far more likely that, as Ehrenreich suggested, the drug testing is to send a message of control.
    I understand that the government has more concern about its own employees being law-abiding. But volunteers? Do they have access to sensitive information, or keys to government buildings? If they show up to shelve books stoned and put a book on travel in the world history section, is anyone really going to be harmed?
    This is just so silly!

    Hello, hope it’s okay to join in…

    I’m confused about this. Is this what the library volunteers actually did on drugs, or is this the result of them not being present to sort out books because they’re refusing to take drugs tests?

    The idea of requiring library volunteers to submit to drug testing struck me as really silly, because if volunteers were noticeably impaired, a supervisor would probably just send them home, but if they did get disruptive, what would happen? Some misshelved books? So I attempted a minor parody of that old “your brain on drugs” commercial, illustrating “library volunteers on drugs” with some photos of disorderly piles of books.

    Looks like my dorm room from college. Looks like the librarian should have read up on the effects of marijuana on the brain.
