FLAWED PROCESS FLAWED RESULT
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK WE SHOULD 'LET THE EXPERTS' GET ON WITH IT
Faulting people for exercising their right to demand transparency and accountability from the people we elect and pay for with our rates, is a form of self disenfranchisement, a giving up of your rights.
Demanding information, transparency and accountability is exactly what we all should be doing, everyone of us whatever our opinions. It is a responsibility of all of us in society to do so.
It is called democracy, it is critical that we hold those in power, especially those we are taxed to govern us, to account.
A badly conceived and not really researched 'Philosophical Trend' and a new Library Manager also paid for by our rates, our public servant, doing a 'new broom' thing, by downgrading the Library.
No sorting into genre - less person hours, less persons employed by the Library. No icon on bindings, a saving there, as staff don't have to apply them and don't need them any more to facilitate sorting into genre before shelving, time and wages saved. Money to be used elsewhere (astro turf)?
Now we have many people, ratepayers, not liking their Library experience for a variety of valid reasons due to the changes, feeling alienated, we haven't changed the Library changed, we are due a review which I for one, will look forward to attending.
I always encourage anyone who has any point of view to not just say it on social media and think it is picked up by politicians, central or local government, you are wrong.
Unless you contact and comment to them directly, you don't get counted.
Whatever your point of view, express it to your elected representatives directly.
Make your voice heard where your vote matters.
They interpret your silence as permission, and that you are OK with how things are going.
