So what's the main problem with the library? Oh.
#UXLibs
Every now and then, I need to remind you all that some driven librarians in the 70s and 80s made our modern, digital environment happen with nothing much more complex than Fortran, BASIC, DOS, and a 24hr plug for downloading.

I am old enough to know some of these automation librarians, yet still young enough to gaze in wonder at what they achieved with the technology they had. π

Do you want to take whatβs behind the five sacred portals or go for Bullyβs special prize: the speedboat?
You have the time it takes the Basilica to revolve.

New signage @CJBSInfoLib! If you had to describe the character of your library in a handful of words, what would yours be?
ALT Image shows light oak bookshelves with a fox pattern backdrop. All books are fronted out. A Cambridge Blue and black sign reads Disruptive Thinking. All the books are on alternative ways of interpreting business, leadership and the economy.

So pleased I stayed up to see this. Iβm not only elated to get rid of the Tories here, Charlotte Cane, our new LD MP, has worked tirelessly as a district councillor, a parish councillor, selling cakes at Reach fairβ¦ you name it. A genuine local voice with tenacity. Weβll done!

This makes me physically sick: pay your damn taxes, just like the rest of us.
