We have had several non-qualified library staff contacting us at Voices for the Library to show support and a few saying they would like to contribute stories so I am confident that it IS clear that VftL site is not just about professional librarians. As Bethan said, please feel free to contribute and encourage other library staff to contribute also. We welcome feedback and we try very hard to take everything on board so that we are working as inclusivly and positivly as we can - a lot of us are very new to all of this activism and advocacy work, we are investing a lot of personal time in it and we are learning a lot as we go along. Why not work with us on this? there comes a time when you have to stop waiting around for others to fight for you and to get stuck in yourselves.... personally I think that time came long time ago but I still do not intend to sit back and be a victim.
Our VftL site has been runnnig for less than a week and we have already got a lot of interest from the world outside of these discussion lists and I am very proud of that.
