Here, where I live, the poor staff are just submitting to another another another round of "role re-appraisals", with a view to further redundancies - there are few enough staff as it is! - amid a huge push for "volunteer libraries". However, these latest cuts won't be fully visible until 2017, and the number of true "library staff" is desperately thin already. <br /><br />Clever, eh, 2017? From those who have probably never been inside a public library as a reader or user. Feeling angry here. Please re-read Dawn's post to find better cheerfulness.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-24350025673036940752016-02-07T13:19:58.122+00:002016-02-07T13:19:58.122+00:00You are so right!You are so right!Dawn McLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806534007750892638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-2431077510826316942016-02-07T09:57:16.376+00:002016-02-07T09:57:16.376+00:00Public libraries are an indicator species for a ci...Public libraries are an indicator species for a civilised society.Joan Lennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763862159032836768noreply@blogger.com
