I agree, decisions were made by people who maybe were not aware of all the best practices for web design. It probably cost a lot of money. The point is, to fix it is not so simple. I don’t understand the aggression

This is a bit aggressive, take it easy. You know the city has been cutting the budget every year for years now. The fucking children’s librarians get like less than 200$ a year to spend on stuff.

It cost a lot of money to upgrade those things. They probably paid a lot of money for the upgrade that moved their systems off of fucking MS DOS, and no shit it is far from perfect.

If you know how to program websites, I’d suggest volunteering to help make it better. Support libraries, support people and politicians who support libraries.
