SYRUP subs
There's a comment below from Verity Panglais asking why professional public librarians go on paying their subscriptions to their professional body.
I suggest that they stop paying altogether. I also think that those librarians in Hampshire who are proposing to go on strike would be better off making their protest to SYRUP . They are, unfortunately unlikely to change the process in place in Hampshire County Council (indeed they may actually encourage other councils to do the same) -- but a meangingful and painful protest to SYRUP by thousands of professional public librarians might actually be the jolt that is needed to make a difference to public libraries throughout the country.
You are welcome to debate that on here.
