The possibilities are endless. On paper it sounds very exciting. However a lot thought and planning should go into this before anything is implemented.I also believe not all change is good. The thought of a library without books is scary.(one of the secondary schools I think did try the idea but I am sure it did not work - not enough planning?.) If you remove something, and nothing replaces it is a dangerous situation.
The job description of library assistants has changed. We spend a lot of time doing photo copies for customers, 1 or 2 copies @20c each. This is our reality.Tho other reality is that libraries cannot continue as they have. Libraries are more technology oriented.Even a photocopier that does not accept coins is beyond some people. Where is the middle line. The first step would be training staff.If we know our product, we can market if better.
