We welcome this research on barriers to library use from @DCMS
As some libraries have proven, attracting large numbers of visitors is possible, e.g. with events & welcoming accessible spaces. But cuts to services, staff, & hours will always reduce numbers

What’s Missing in Conversations about Libraries and Mental Illness by Morgan Rondinelli
"... mentally ill librarians exist too. We often mask our own mental health struggles for the sake of helping patrons, or ... sanism and stigma amongst coworkers."

"Libraries are an important representation of what cuts can do to a community – when it’s gone, people really feel it. And it will be those from socioeconomically deprived backgrounds who will be hit hardest." Resident Shuranjeet Singh on Birmingham cuts theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…

Honestly, ensuring the provision of quality local public libraries is too important to be left hostage to the great war between local & central Government. Libraries should be a consistent national offer, from Lands End to John O'Groats, and governed and funded as such.

Strategy matters. In any successful initiative there's always clarity about the goal, the barrier to achieving that goal, the insight that gets you past the barrier and the solution that puts that insight into action. It's amazing how often ppl don't start with 1st principles
Signs of spring on the towpath of the very full canal on my way back from teaching a lovely bunch of @OxLibTrainees about assessment librarianship.
