A beautiful library
In the first entry on this blog I observed that the Victoria Library on Buckingham Palace Road is potentially as attractive as the photo on the jacket of "Libraries we Love" featured on the left of our text.
Whatever happened to the makeover promised by Westminster City Council? I went to to look and while there is evidence of painting and decorating, the light fittings are still filthy, the place is dirty and I can see no change to the layout nor any more books than were there before.
Westminster libraries should be a shining star. But they haven't got this right- and there was a lot of help on offer, which they declined to use.
I shall explain what that help was and how Westminster should have used it in a following entry. Bloggington on Sea library service know about these things. I shall explain what Mr Grimsdyke does.
