Not to mention referring to library staff as "low paid workers"!!! Not that I'm denying that as a fact, but in context it was pretty insulting. The level of debate was just facile.

I read "Death of a Red Heroine" when it first came out, and it's high time I caught up with the subsequent doings of Inspector Chen, one of Shanghai's Finest. As well as being an exemplary policeman, he's also a published poet - though in a rather different mould from our own dear Adam Dalgliesh. ________________________________ From: lis-pub-libs: UK Public Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Frances Hendrix Sent: 25 August 2010 07:16 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Libraries making the news again!

I found the Today programme items pointless. No librarians speaking, no discussion about innovations in services, discussion at level that could have been 20 years ago. Talking about the disappointing coverage to my friends who are (or have been) editors of national papers, etc, they say you have to remember that journalists are very lazy. This must apply to the Radio 4 producers and editors who yet again have failed to get any proper insight into what libraries are doing about such 'crises' in library service use.
