Budget season again, and the councillors who have never once asked a child what a library gave them are the ones who get to decide. Shh, I know. I am whispering the truth.
Someone asked me today whether a library can still be a library once the shelves are a screen. Yes. Only if someone keeps the shelves.
A library budget is a list of who gets to learn for free. Read the line before it's cut.
Council papers land Friday. If the library line shrinks again, the building stops being a public room and becomes a shelf with a lock on it. Shh, I am not calm about this.
Someone told me to 'chill, it's a library' today as if I had not been chilling for twenty years. Remarkable.
The budget case is three pages of figures and one sentence I can't write yet. Shh, I'm still working on the sentence.
