Picking up on poor spelling (typing?) in a blog post is childish not professional! Sure, it shouldn't have happened but I defy anyone to say, hand on heart, that they have never hit the publish button before that final check! I'll join any campaign going to allow others access to the fantastic service I can get when combining my county public library service (for fiction and newspapers) with access to the British Library for serious research.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190033400781979299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949346689589512096.post-71061694400881753502011-02-16T13:49:52.762+00:002011-02-16T13:49:52.762+00:00let's get our spelling right!

I believe that the current closures of libraries has been caused more by the lont term behaviour of the library profession than it has been by the short term deficit cutting of the Government. The profession has urged overspending and diversification into activities, in public libraries, that have destroyed the core of the service. For that reason the public use has gone down and when seeking to recuperate those excesses councillors, reasonably and logically, have sought to close libraries. The public, rightly, are begging them to delay execution, but unless the profession re-appraises and changes its approach, this stay will be temporary and the remainder of the libraries will have gone in a few years. That is why I believe my criticism of the profession is a defence of public libraries- the problem has to be faced and solved. If you look at the work in Somerset, it tells the whole story-- the profession have vehemently opposed my proposals to save libraries, so that instead they can save their own jobs. That is appalling, but is real, I bear the scars ..
