Why The MLA Has Failed So Badly (in Respect Of Public Libraries Over The Past 10 Years Or So)?Posted at 11:28AM Monday 22 Feb 2010 Not only is it true to say that in most places the public library service is much worse than it was ten years ago, but all these people whom I have listed were paid, or elected, to make public services including this one, better than they were. Some of them were paid extremely large amounts. Each institution thinks their role is to please another - and to obtain funds by doing so. But few of them think of pleasing the public. They can't do: otherwise the results would be so much better. Use of the service would have increased in every way- but it hasn't.And the answer is that, in this respect at least, our gross national institutions are in contempt of the people who they should serve and who pay for them. It is quite a problem.
