I am one of the millions who rarely use public libraries (British libraries
could shut by 2020, April 28). How ironic, then, that I have also spent the
past 15 years as a qualified librarian in the private and public sectors.
This is because my local library is closed when I leave for work and closed
when I get home. Its books and computers remain firmly closed to the public
on two whole weekdays.
It is time the profession took its head out of the sand and started to give
the public what they want: more books, longer opening hours and a
customer-friendly service.
