TIL my local library's return slot has been out of order for 3 weeks now
I go to the same branch downtown every Saturday morning. I noticed they had a hand-written sign taped to the return slot saying 'temporarily out of service' with no date on it. The thing is, that sign has been there since February 12th. I know because I took a photo of my kid holding a book near it that day. Three weeks later, still there. I asked the librarian at the desk and she just shrugged and said 'we're waiting on parts.' It's one of those small things that makes you wonder why nobody just fixes it. Has anyone else had a simple thing at a place you go often just stay broken forever?

It's been 23 days actually because I checked my photo. I guess when you're waiting on parts for a metal box, nobody's in a huge rush.

Libraries are weird about stuff like that. If a shelf breaks in a grocery store they fix it that week, but this is clearly not a priority for them. Just drop your books off at the desk and move on.
