UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
I asked these questions in 2017 the answer then was NO.
I ask the questions again, and again wonder why they don't want to know the answers.
Why they don't want to know what Library users think?
Questions :
Library staff
Are they registering requests for help?
Are they registering complaints?
Do staff point out and direct complainants to feedback forms?
Following questions still go unanswered
I asked Council under the Official Information Act for the research they said time and again supported the changes, there is no research, there is no data, they lied and still refuse to be accountable. They promised a Review – When?
Which Libraries here and overseas have adopted the philosophy?
How long had they been operating said philosophy?
How had it benefited the core business of Libraries (issuing books)?
How many were continuing to operate said philosophy?
How were these Libraries reconciling that children are being taught genre search in schools?
The research doesn't exist - they did not and still do not have any data/research to offer us in support of the changes
Someone clever, generations ago, recognised the emotional connection people can have to books, different search styles, the reverence some of us have for the stories, information, authors, and the books themselves and arranged the offering of books to others in the best way possible to cover all styles, it wasn’t an accident it was an expert professional design, that. Has stood the test of time.
To all of you share your point of view thanks, we need everyone who uses the Library to have their say, so we might end up with a balanced way to make our Library inclusive and accessible of everyone, every search style.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
