The Bookseller sums up the story in the national papers
The news is only that this time the Government and the MLA cannot deny the obvious and lie about it as they have in previous years. A cat could run a better public library service.
The editor is more polite. He concludes his leading article for the New Year by simply suggesting a plan: "Perhaps the MLA, or whoever is in charge of libraries, also needs a gentle prod with an admonishing finger: libraries should be places full of books, not just government community outreach centres."
