They still had a sign up saying make sure your mask covers your nose but were not enforcing masks. Half the new book section has been replaced with computers and the selection of new items is very limited. A disproportionate number were about transgenderism given that less than 1% of the population identifies this way, though perhaps that is because of the recent Transgender Day of Visibility, or just to make up for a past lack of books on this topic. In any case I usually leave a library with so many books I need a big Market Basket bag to carry them all, but I only found two of interest here.

Meeting rooms also accommodate participation in civic activities. While masks are not required the signs strongly suggesting that you wear one are a little off putting, and I saw a poor staff member hanging out of an open door so she could eat a snack. Vaccines are here, no need to be so fearful.

I also learned while there they had a 'Medical Terminology Course', which would feed my previous Army Medical background and learn more up to date terms for work at a Hospital or similar area. The many weeks I was there; with the absolutely patient, understanding, and very loving and talented 'Friends' made there; I have made my life ; because of Operation ABLE's Staff much more enjoyable; and made money I never dreamed of.

Members use their supposed expertise to inject themselves into affairs in the City of Fitchburg, since they work out of its City Hall. For instance, one serves on the Board of Health. She was ignorant of covid basics (how tests work, the difference between being hospitalized incidentally with covid or due to covid), yet imposed restrictions on residents. Despite the low risk of children getting covid she voted to keep a school mask mandate in place, believing there would be a big spike in cases after February vacation. Fortunately she was outvoted, and no increase in cases occurred. Many times at Board of Health meetings she would whine about how much contact tracing she had to do, even when it was not required and Leominster was not having its cases traced. Finally other people were hired to take over this function. Another nurse who works here came to a School Committee and BOH meeting and disparaged data from mainstream sources such as the CDC and Massachusetts Department of Health, saying only her personal experience matters. Now, despite covid no longer being a pandemic according to Dr. Fauci, they are keeping a whole army of contact tracers on staff, including a highly paid epidemiologist and a supervisor. They examine wastewater to try to sniff out an increase in cases to justify this expense, but it's been months and they have yet to release a promised public dashboard of their data. I am betting we are stuck with this bloated staffing forever even though the contact tracers are supposed to be temps. This is a "solution" in search of a problem.
