I'm just adding another one star review. Our post office (as I was told by a mail person) uses…read morepostal carriers from out of town on the weekends. I usually alter my deliveries so they don't get delivered on weekends. Today I got a notice (not uncommon) that my package was undeliverable due to the fact that there was "no access to the front door". DUH. I live in an apartment building close to downtown that has a key pad to DIAL THE APARTMENT NUMBER and rings you on your cell phone. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE HOME. He did not Dial my apartment number. If he had, he would have found me at home.

Sometimes I put in a request for a parcel pickup. I put the parcels by the front door, exposing…read morethem to risk of theft, but often enough, my carrier doesn't bother picking them up. So, by 4 pm, I finally start calling the post office. Although they are open until 4:30, the call doesn't get answered. No one picks up. Verizon finally disconnects the call. I redial, sit on the phone again for several minutes and still no one answers. I am an eBay seller and eBay evaluates me on my shipping time based on the tracking number. I lose financial incentives when I seemingly mail parcels two days late instead of within a 24 hr. period. So a carrier not doing his/her job actually costs me money. If they don't scan the parcel into they system when they pick it up, or if they don't bother picking up at all that day, and I can't reach them to alert them, eBay assumes I didn't ship it within the agreed upon time. That's a strike against me. The staff at the counter are all very helpful whenever I go in there, but some of the carriers are either poorly trained, not focused on the job at hand, or just don't care. Perhaps they are holiday or vacation substitutes. Perhaps they are understaffed and overworked. I only know that pick-up service can sometimes be a frustrating, maddening mess.

Too bad about the librarians they hire…read more One in particular lets people she knows play loud music from their phone while they read the paper. When I asked her about said miscreant, she informed me that "he just does that". Like rules don't apply to him because he's a walking fossil. Forget about students trying to study or people trying to concentrate and work, or even PEOPLE TRYING TO READ. IN A LIBRARY. Absolutely ridiculous. Shame on your staff.

I became a writer - first a journalist and then an author. The solace and opportunity I found in this beautiful, historic library taught me the world is wide and possibility abounds. Thanks to all the librarians (who "shhhsh'd me many times) but tolerated a hyperactive girl with dreams. Darby (Pat) Patterson, Sacramento
