These are the most basic values on which a…

(Walters, 2012) However, the current trend of shrinking library budgets has led to staff and collection budget cuts. With the increasing proliferation of publishing – especially electronic publishing – it is not possible for librarians to create fully comprehensive collections foreseeing patrons’ needs.

"We Don 't Let Our…

This goal might seem small, but whenever I visit a library, my attention is usually focused on some question that needs to be answered and I remember little about my experience outside of the information I was looking for.

Here is a situation at Fawville Public Library where the staff has gone through two types of directors, which they defined one as an autocrat and the other as an abdicator. The first former director ruled with absolute authority for sixteen years, a substantially long enough period to make a mark. The next and most recent director, who only stayed for six months as part of the probationary period, proved to be a complete opposite and a total shut-in. He was far too timid for a man of his…
