Don't get me wrong I'd rather he was pro than anti but what's new and visionary in what he is saying? He has visited the 'super' library in Southwark and an Idea Store, hardly representative of the sector as a whole! I also get a bit frustrated when the same old diversification mantra is wheeled out as if it is the only answer and not as some believe part of the problem! Ok i'll try and be positive, a good basis from which to build on.

Thanks Frances - a superb piece from Dan Jarvis. With visionary thinking like this and support from people like the fabulously pro-Library Gloria de Piero up in Ashfield, the left are looking like a very safe pair of hands for libraries, hope after all for a post-ConDem future!
