I’ve spent the past year interviewing librarians as research for this and have such respect for the frontline work they do. From libraries in arctic huts, to launderettes in Peckham, libraries have popped up everywhere, even wartime Tube stations #sagasaturday ⁦@CILIPinfo⁩

Absolutely fuming. Local public services have been shredded since 2008 & are being held together by public sector workers doing far more than their paid hours. To blame them for recent tragedies is grotesque. We are paying the price of austerity, pure and simple.
