Subject: Re: Signs of disaffection
There was a lot of talk about literacy in the news lately. I didn't see
anything from CILIP about how libraries could help address this problem.
Do you think CILIPs low visibility might have led to the low level of
voting?
Many libraries are undergoing an unstable time at the moment and are being
restructured. They need to have a higher profile and we need CILIP to be
out there promoting us and our services. They missed a trick there, and
this may lead to members like myself growing dissaffected with the
organisation.
