not enough people
as some of you know I am a magistrate, and I am constantly suggesting people use their library when they 'don't do nuffing!', none of them even know where it is

I’ve just seen a government TV advert telling people not to put oil down a sink – if the government can spend money on that, why can’t they do some proper TV advertising for us! You do wonder how many people out there actually know what excellent stuff public libraries do.

or, if a working party, sufficient time left as the crunch could by then be over before they finish deliberating! But the libraries may well have gained 100's more borrowers and supporters

Frances how could you!

 

I’m sure that someone, somewhere will, even as we speak, be considering setting up a working party to look into the matter - if there’s sufficient interest among members…

I was thinking in bed the other night and wondered:-

Why on earth isn't there a national PR/ad campaign with slogans like:-

 

Read through the credit crunch for free at your public library

 

every book tells a story, at your public library

 

no such thing as a free book? Yes there is, visit your public library

 

You get owt for nowt! Not true, visit your public library!

 

Where else can you explore the world for free, than your public library

 

escape on your doorstep, Books for every one at the public library

 

banners out side every library, in the local press, on tea shirts etc etc., wouldn't cost much to produce in bulk, and there must be some wonderful much better slogans.

 

Why isn't MLA or Cilip doing this, the time is right, the time is NOW!
