One Library Card for London
Long bearded devotees of this blog will remember the time when we called for 'one library card for London' (put it in the search box).. I see that Mrs Mansion Polish pinched the jolly good idea for her ministerial speech in Brighton this week
Her cheerful but ignorant aides and speech writers obviously forgot to tell her that at the last attempt:
The society of chief librarians
The London branch of the MLA
The MLA itself
The DCMS
Mr Lammy etc
The LLDA
The chief librarians of London
all failed miserably to achieve any progress in their last spluttering attempt to make this happen
The libraries of London are run in the same way as a tube in which the track size was different in each borough. The service goes nowhere
