Editorial “Pleas for fairness library dispute” relates:
“Ms. [Joyce] Sands, Lancaster Public Library’s deputy director, complained to the Library System board last month that the downtown library doesn’t have enough bandwidth for its computers and doesn’t get prompt help from IT staffers at the system, which runs the countywide library network.
“We can’t be certain who’s at fault in this latest contretemps. After the meeting, system officials suggested the downtown library’s public users suck up too much bandwidth. But other member libraries in the system are having similar difficulties with computers.”
WATCHDOG: It is hard to believe that anyone from the Library System could be so obtuse and so ignorant as to suggest that the “downtown library’s pubic users suck up too much bandwith.”
This shows that the System bureaucracy lives in a world of its own, isolated from and contemptuous of the needs of the library public.
What do they think the purpose of the System and the downtown library is if it isn’t to provide service for its clients?
Obviously the System is a waste of taxpayers’ money. It is time for one or more libraries to withdraw, which is their privilege.
Two wags of the tail to the Sunday News article.
