Happy Christmas
To everyone who comes on this site.
My object is to make the public libraries in this country as good as they possibly can be: well stocked with really interesting and useful new and old books, journals, films, music, access to information and history and so on; open long hours every day into the evening; attractive comfortable welcoming buildings which are a pleasure to visit, to work and spend time in and librarians who enjoy what they do and are knowledgeable and helpful to everyone who needs their assistance.
In the past year and even more, in the past few months, it is possible to see how this can come about. Some walls which seemed impenetrable, have begun to crumble. Let us hope that next year, at last, brings some dramatic improvement. All the resources that we need are available, it is truly just a question of putting the right pieces of the jigsaw in the right places. Have a lovely holiday, from a small black cat asleep on the sofa.
