“We encourage communities to think more broadly than ‘just’ a library” here’s that insulting & disingenuous “just a library” thing again, it seeks to diminish & undermine real libraries & the multi-dimensional work that real library workers have been doing for decades and more.

In terms of public libraries I think we are approaching (or have crossed?) the point of no return, we’ve lost so many libraries & skilled/knowledgable library staff that I fear we’ll never get back to pre-austerity levels of provision. It’s a national disgrace. #savelibraries

Austerity & Public Libraries; an opportunity or a crisis? If you're a library user or library worker it's a crisis. But if you're the SCL, Taskforce, ACE, a Tory, a social entrepreneur, an outsourcing fundamentalist or a transformation consultant it's an opportunity.

There's a hidden mental health crisis taking place in public libraries. I'm hearing from more and more library workers suffering from stress & anxiety caused by cuts, closures & job insecurity. It's a national scandal. #savelibraries #iamalibraryworker

I don't care what anyone else says or thinks calling something the 'Tesco Bank Summer Reading Challenge' is a terrible terrible way to introduce kids to the joys of reading and public libraries.

Report writer's, Mutual Ventures', main background is to find solutions to outsourcing library services - does this mean that the suggestions are already predetermined? Will there be no locally funded libraries by the end?

This is a new twitter profile to campaign for the public library in Callington, Cornwall. Whilst we hugely value the work of volunteers, we firmly believe libraries cannot offer a quality service without skilled employees. #SaveOurLibraries #LibrariesMatter
