The title of this post contains a link to the CILIP evidence to the review of Hampshire public libraries.
Apologies for being too quiet; this is far from the case in Hampshire libraries. I have a small collection of local media articles over past weeks which stem from the Council leader saying criticism of their restructure is unjust, to a senior member of the Library management team question the intellect of their borrowers whilst signing the protest survey. Mr Ezra also seems to creating another storm by querying whether public libraries should stock fiction, this has been covered in the Bookseller.
So for the moment I shall sign off, but there will be more to come. It's never a dull moment in library land.
