How many years will it take you to realise .... if you manage a public library: fill it with loads of interesting books; make plenty of spaces that people can read; and treat everybody with the dignity you would like for yourself
That's what people, quite sensibly, expect a public library to offer
No, no - this would be yet another waste of money. We did this 20 years ago and called āreader developmentā. Itās pointless. The priority for public libraries is to improve book collections
The four questions for which numerical evidence is needed in this report are
1. How much time and money were spent applying for and awarding these grants?
2. What measure of value was applied?
3. What value was achieved?
4. How this ties to the 'LibraryOn' and 'Single Digital Presence' projects?
Forgive me, but this is not what libraries are for, not what librarians ought to be doing and not what public money for libraries should be spent upon.
I wish you, your CEO, your president, your chair, all your trustees and whomever funds you, would tell you that this is not what public libraries are for.
