This is a soap box I will gladly jump on to bang my tin drum. Libraries have always been an easy target for cuts, they have passionate supporters but find it hard to point to their usefulness to society. Entertainment, education, warm safe place to shelter to name a few. Now they are beset with having to take on more tasks as other agencies are slashed and yet the profession is regarded as unnecessary, after all any one can be a librarian, qualifications not needed according to our head of service! I have to admit to being biased as I am a qualified librarian who copped out and accepted redundancy rather than watch the death of a thousand cuts.
