"The good news is that libraries are getting £80m of lottery money. The bad news is that they can't spend it on books ".
This story came up today. Apparently they are sacrificing books for "community learning centres" - that will be internet cafes then surely? Apparently the "underprivileged" don't need books to learn from, they just need t'internet and DVD loans. Libraries don't tend to loan porn mags I suppose. They are closing loads of already established libraries that could benefit from £80m of lottery money - for arguments sake, let's say they wouldn't have to close - and couldn't they just stick a few more pcs in them instead of closing them and building new ones? And order 50 Barbara Taylor Bradfords for the shelves.
Honestly. When I win the Euromillions on Friday (yes it's still £100 mill., I wouldn't bother buying a ticket if I were you, I'm winning it), I'll open a new library. And only let people called Barbara use it. It will be a Community Centre for severely underused names. There you go. And I'll call it the "BB Centre for the Nominally Challenged".
