Last time I was stuck in this godforsaken place and blogged it I was chastised as a a first-class travelling plutocratic publisher of no worth. So I`d better not moan about delays,lousy service, lousy signage, grumpy staff and attitudes more reminiscent of 1960s Britain than I care to remember. So let`s celebrate Tim Coates`s recovery of his own blog Good Library Blog - see Blogroll - which he`s managed to hijack back from the dastardly hijackers - and has celebrated the doubling of book purchases by libraries in Ulster. The scandal of diminishing book budgets in libraries (as opposed to the burgeoning of`other outreach activities`) would never have been noticed without Tim`s crusade. and it matters - see the comments on my previous blog. Aux barricades mes amis pour les bibliotheques - and please will someone privatise Air France properly as soon as possible.
