[Michlib-l] Aaron Yang on NPR

[Cherie Edmonds]

I've been "yanged" twice (at two different libraries). Both times he
registered for the programs but didn't actually participate, and then
requested we send him prizes. He said it was part of a group "bet" to see
who could get the most summer reading prizes sent to them. He also
registered for Youth programs despite being an adult, which didn't sit well
with anyone. Why would we take away a prize, purchased with a limited
budget, from our young readers for your personal bet to get free stuff? We
responded that it was only for residents (at one library), and only for
those who could pick up in-person (at the other).
